Any thought leader on the list to shed some light to what is happening in the world of open networking ? OVS vs OpenNSL vs Cumulus vs fd.io vs Snabb vs a lot of stuff :)
Where is this going ?
I work on Snabb and to me our most interesting application area is "the long tail." You have a problem that you can describe on a whiteboard, but you can't get an off-the-shelf solution for, and you want to solve it by sitting down and writing an ordinary program in an ordinary high level programming language. So that is what you do. It's not necessarily *easy* but it is straight forwardly similar to the way people write other programs in languages like perl/python/ruby/javascript/etc.
