“SDN doesn't scale!”

We keep hearing this, many people seem to have held off deploying an SDN infrastructure due to this belief, but is it true? To answer this question we first have to define what we mean by "scale" - Network Elements? Traffic? Routing Changes? Who better to explore than the people who have architected and deployed some of the highest-scale SDN environments across telco, enterprise and research networks. They will talk about what scalability means to them, the challenges they have faced, and the learnings each of us can leverage for our own environments.
