SDN is still maturing. Throughout the evolution of SDN, which two things will play a key role in enabling a successful deployment and avoiding performance visibility gaps in the infrastructure?…

Peer-to-peer controller infrastructure is not a standard SDN architectural model; SDN relies on centralized or hierarchical control planes, and a peer-to-peer model introduces state consistency and visibility coordination challenges.

Falling back to old distributed control behaviors reintroduces the fragmented visibility and manual configuration constraints that SDN is specifically designed to eliminate.

Dynamic real-time change is a foundational SDN capability - the controller's ability to programmatically adjust network behavior instantly ensures it maintains continuous and accurate visibility, closing the gaps that arise when static configurations cannot respond to changing conditions.

Rapid on-demand growth allows the SDN control and monitoring plane to scale alongside the data plane as traffic and topology expand, ensuring that coverage does not lag behind infrastructure growth and leave unmonitored blind spots.

Integration of device context, while beneficial for enriching network management data, is not identified as one of the primary enabling factors for avoiding performance visibility gaps during SDN evolution and deployment.
