Hi Dave, Thanks for the response. Arent we then talking of only switches then, i.e are these Switches L3 switches, and if so, is it true that the, say, IP routing can(is) also be brought under centralized control. Have such product being demoed in industry shows anywhere that brings say IP Routing or perhaps more likely, MPLS Label Switching under centrailized SDN control? Thanks again for offering your insights. Sitaraman
