I worked on OS software, and know little about networking virtualization. I have a question. Assuming the following technologies come true, then we can let users install their own choice of vswitches(or such kind of "devices") in their own VM, without risk to influence CSP's hypervisor software; and we can allow users to build their own network construction overlaying upon the existing net, give them more flexibilities and control.
Most of this has already been done in the NFV and GENI worlds. Both Snabb and DPDK are implementing low-overhead paths into VMs. Virtual wires can be implemented with encapsulation.
