Social networks, mobile apps, and cloud computing push traditional networks to the limits of their boundaries. One solution to this problem is Software Defined Networks (SDN), which is a contemporary networking concept that allows network administrators easy to manage network services and resources by differentiating the management plane from the data transport plane. The new generation of networks eliminate inefficiencies of the existent networks making them more automated, dynamic and easy adapting to the changing state and requirements of users. The paper presents a comparative analysis of traditional and software defined networks on the base of their capabilities and application as the aim is the applying of SDN as a suitable solution of the problems of modern networks.
