Due to their unprecedented scale and workload dynamics, engineering networks that enable cloud computing requires an extreme focus on efficiency, reliability, and agility (ERA). The traditional network programming model, which is low-level and device-oriented, no longer suffices for these networks because it results in poor ERA. In this talk, I will first provide one perspective on high-level network programming and what it means for a network to be fully programmable. I will then describe how existing research and systems, including some that my collaborators and I have developed, can be viewed through this perspective. I will conclude with speculations about where network programming may be (or should be) headed.
