Summary: Hybrid Switching is the next evolution in the OpenFlow/SDN market and focusses on the "How do we get from today's network to tomorrows infrastrucutre". We've been talking about OpenFlow for some time now, and more recently the HOW of configuring OpenFlow has been discussed more and more with the title of Software Defined Networkling. To some extent, we have answers to those questions and we are moving to implementation and we realise that most networks will need to run OpenFlow, SDN and programmable networking on their existing topologies. That's Hybrid Switching.
