Software defined networking or SDN allows you to manage both the physical and virtual network devices in a datacenter. Using software defined networking you can also define policies to manage traffic between the physical and virtual networks. Windows Server 2016 comes with integrated features that can help you to implement Software defined networking. Such features are Hyper-V virtual switch, Hyper-V network virtualization and remote access service gateway.
Hyper-V network virtualisation hides application from the actual physical network.
Hyper-V switch helps the virtual machines to connect to both physical and virtual network.
RRAS gateway can link your network to Microsoft azure or other cloud providers.
