Application Defined Networking (ADN) is a concept where applications directly control and adapt their networking environment using API's. It aims at optimizing the delivery and performance of cloud applications. While SDN focuses on controlling the forwarding of individual packets within the network infrastructure, ADN orchestrates application flows, such as the actual data exchanged. ADN accelerates and streamlines the movement of data throughout the entire virtual infrastructure of each application.
