Clearly there are some real benefits to using OpenFlow in certain use cases (here’s one example ), but that doesn’t mean OpenFlow—especially hop-by-hop OpenFlow, where OpenFlow is involved at every “hop” of the packet forwarding process throughout the network—is the right solution for all environments.
