In my mind, this isn’t an indictment of OpenFlow, but rather an indictment of the way that OpenFlow is being used.

I can’t help but wonder if this is the right level at which to put the abstraction layer. For those customers who won’t use a cloud management platform, I would then ask: will they benefit from a CPAL? Don’t think this “software-defined networking” thing is going to take off?
