Hypnologic thanks for your questions1. One of the primary use cases we see that touches the WAN and Data Center domains is the use of VPNs across the WAN to extend virtual slices of Data Center resources seamlessly across multiple Data Centers. We also see the use of SDN to dynamically interconnect sites and the scheduling or reservation of Bandwidth across the WAN. As a matter of fact we demonstrated both of these use case at Interop Tokyo just last week.

Thanks for very simple explanation.

Question 2. We also see another potential benefit of SDN to provide a single multilayer view from Layer 1 through Layer 3 of the network to enable dynamic optimization of paths taking into account all layers. Specific benefits include ability to
1. create a consolidated layer 1 -3 view of the network
2. define optimized paths taking into consideration each layer
3.dynamically orchestrate provisioning of Layers 1-3 for forwarding based upon a common set of traffic engineering principles
