Hi Mark,

I suppose it depends what you're trying to accomplish. If you're a
hosting provider and you want to provide a capability both similar to
AWS VPCs and strong enough to not be a joke, you won't get there on
the tools Linux or VMWare provide. You'll have to invest in SDN tech.
If you're hooking up residential subscribers to the Internet... it's
less obvious how SDN would be of use to you.
