A Purpose-built Global Network: Google’s Move to SDN: A discussion with Amin Vahdat, David Clark, and Jennifer Rexford

Abstract

Everything about Google is at scale, of course -- a market cap of legendary proportions, an unrivaled talent pool, enough intellectual property to keep armies of attorneys in Guccis for life, and, oh yeah, a private WAN (wide area network) bigger than you can possibly imagine that also happens to be growing substantially faster than the Internet as a whole.
