 Welcome. We're here today with Dr. Nakao, who's Associate Professor at the University of Tokyo. Welcome, Dr. Nakao. Hi. I was wondering if you could start by explaining to us that you coined this term deeply programmable networks. I was wondering if you could explain a little bit more about that and its relationship to software-defined networks. Okay. So, in short, the concept of deeply programmable network is an extension to the concept of SDN, the software-defined networking, and we came up with this term because we wanted to extend current SDN from just the programmability of the control plane to programmability of the data plane as well, because currently the purpose of current SDN is to automate things by a program of the control plane so that you can reduce the cost, especially the OPEX operational expense of the network. But sometimes we feel that that's limited in terms of programmability because we want to look at the data plane as well because we have lots of interesting problems happening in the current internet. And sometimes if you program data plane functionalities like caching and DPI and deep propaganda inspection, we can resolve a concertly arising problem more flexibly. So it's a lot about reducing complexity and making it easier for operators to implement new services. Can you explain why standardization is so important in this field? Of SDN or DPN. So SDN defines an API for control plane programmability. So if there's no standardization, everybody wants to develop their own API. So at some point we have a basic set of APIs so that many vendors can define, write a program that is using a basic set of APIs. But at the same time, what we are saying in the DPN deeply programmable network is that sometimes you want to define a proprietary set of APIs. So we can differentiate this basic set and a proprietary and programmability. Redefining these APIs is a very important one. And what role do you expect that ITU will play in this particular part, the standardization part? Okay, so SDN is in a great confusion right now because nobody has clearly defined SDN yet. So what we say today is that SDN decouples control plane and data plane and you can program control plane, but nothing more than that. And so standardization at ITUT I think has two roles here. So the first role here is that maybe we clarify this confusion around SDN. So we take lots of related area like SDN, network virtualization, network functions, virtualization and DPN. All the SDOs are working on defining and standardize these technologies. But there is no global picture of this related area. So maybe ITUT can take a lead on drawing this entire global picture to explain, okay, this area has this SDO has this scope and draw a map of related areas. That's the first role. And the second role is that nobody has ever defined this deeply programmable networking idea yet. So extending the control plane programmability into the data plane programmability. So all these missing PCs and defining the multiple isolated programming environments, that is also missing. So all these missing PCs from the current SDN field, maybe ITUT can attack that and try to define these technology areas. Well, we very much look forward to seeing how that work progresses. Thank you very much for coming to speak to us today. Thank you.
