SDN originally meant 'separate the forwarding plane from the control plane,
and do wacky stuff with the CP'.

It's been applied over the years as a nice buzzwordy marketing term for
just about anything that involves software interacting with network
hardware in any way. Not correct of course, but that's never stopped anyone
from try to sell before. :)

Can someone explain what is all the fuss? SDN is like the latest telecom
craze but the articles do a poor job of explaining the advantages. I seek
concrete examples.
