THE NEW IP =Open and Open-Sourced
Ecosystem Centric
Network-Level Intelligence
Innovation Platform
Dynamic and Automated • Value moves from hardware system to software system
• Datacenter moves from back office to front door
• The data center is distributed and without walls. It is the network, and the network is the data center
• The network is applications aware, applications ask for the network they need

SDN Hybrid Mode
© 2015 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. Company Proprietary Information
! Hybrid mode in OpenFlow 1.3 specifications
! Allows OpenFlow and traditional switching
! Not all hybrid modes are equal
! Per flow vs. per port
• Hybrid Switch Mode• OpenFlow is enabled on a per-port basis
• OpenFlow ports do not run existing features
• Non-OpenFlow-enabled ports run existing features, e.g., MPLS/IP routing
• Hybrid Port Mode• OpenFlow is enabled on a per-port basis
• OpenFlow-enabled ports can run traditional services on Protected VLANs, concurrently with OpenFlow on the same port
