Summary: Greg Ferro & Ethan Banks conclude their chat begun in Show 103 - Choking on Cookies, but take the conversation in a different direction. What We Discuss TRILL & SPB - are they competing or complimentary? Or aimed at different markets? If SDN really gets a strong foothold in the marketplace because of excellent applications, what might that mean for TRILL and SPB? What has Google *really* demonstrated with their OpenFlow announcement? And what does that mean for the rest of us? If you buy an SDN-based "network-in-a-box" that's a proprietary vendor solution, what happens to your skill set? SDN is early right now. Can we tell where it's going to take the industry? A useful application for SDN: end-to-end flow analysis (instead of point-in-time flow analysis). TRILL would pick up steam if Cisco reduced the prohibitive cost of licensing FabricPath.
