In the previous chapter, we discussed how to design a network based on the information received from your RFI/RFQ and Proof of Concept (PoC).
In this chapter, we will look at different NGN designs that are utilized by both service providers and enterprise networks. We will discuss large network designs along with smaller network designs for both enterprise and service providers.
At the end of this chapter, you should be able to understand different types of design, including the following:
- Open hardware with OpenFlow and OpenDaylight
- Open Hardware with SnapRoute managed via REST
- Cisco Nexus 9000 with ACI
