SDN and NFV ARE critical to network evolution
Simplicity
Cost effectiveness

Imagine
a network where you only do gross capacity planning and network
disruption NEVER impacts the customer
Congestion not a problem
Protection events at L1 or L2 or even L3 have no impact.
Good-put == throughput (wow!)
Security is a design benefit rather than a cost factor
Never miss an SLA
Engineering simplicity
No ring constraints
Mesh network benefits with much simpler implementation
Experience management based on fact, not assumption
In other words, now you really can just throw bandwidth at the network and
your users will experience consistently excellent transport service

Assured Packet Delivery
NOT New
Think of it this way: Data analytics and big data applied to networks with an
eye towards measuring and managing customer experience.
Lots of tools
Netflow (and kin), syslog, RMON, SNMP
Open source tools
Proprietary purchased environments
Expensive?
Sure, but most things worth doing are
SDN and NFV may enable flexibility that lower costs
Lots of the data is already collected is done for security purposes

Parting questions
Can you do all that your customer needs alone?
