Hi David, All I know is that you need NSX-mh (multi hypervisor version) and that works with KVM and xenserver.
The licensing options changed a lot since it became VMware. Also checkout Nuage, they are actively maintaining and supporting their plugin (whereas the Nicira plugin was made by the community). Both controllers need to be licensed so that brings in extra costs one way or the other. But they also bring in many new features not possible without SDN.
