Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a promising method to simplify network management and facilitate network evolution. However, SDN is a logically centralized technology with global network-wide view. It faces the problem of scalability and reliability. In this paper, we propose a novel method termed as Distributed Intelligence Networking (DIN). DIN optimizes network management based on distributed coordination of multiple forwarding nodes like the coordination in bird flocking motion, it is a fully physically and logically distributed structure based on neighbor network-wide view. This architecture naturally has the advantage of scalability and reliability.
