@steve @rangello I actually did, and that was a big part of the reason. 11:40 AM May 24th via HootSuite in reply to steve
@rangello LOL. Had to update my voicemail greeting for that reason. "Recruiters - I won't call you back from this number." :-) 11:38 AM May 24th via HootSuite in reply to rangello
@thereallisac There's several assumptions I'm making about the environment where that would apply. Talking *potential* not current/actual. 10:43 AM May 24th via HootSuite in reply to TheRealLisaC
@thereallisac I sort of disagree...an all-seeing SDN controller w the right apps could be a traditional networking displacement technology. 10:42 AM May 24th via HootSuite in reply to TheRealLisaC
@jasmas I think I agree with that. Scaling is a big SDN challenge in environments with lots of unpredictable flows. 10:35 AM May 24th via HootSuite in reply to jasmas
@jasmas SDN *could* replace TRILL, plus all traditional networking. So the Q is *would/will* it. In my mind, that answer is...probably not. 10:24 AM May 24th via HootSuite in reply to jasmas
