“ As one would expect, some people view the VMware’s acquisition as validation of Software Defined Networking (SDN) approach. It might definitely look that way to a VC, but if you forget the marketing games, NVP’s architecture is not much different than Cisco’s Nexus 1000V or VMware’s VDS. They all use central control/management plane to download forwarding and policy information into distributed semi-autonomous soft switches. The “only” difference is that Nicira’s architecture actually scales due to a number of design and implementation choices they made. „
