Google's Deployment of OpenFlow on its Internal Networks - Very Significant

http://j.mp/HRavQv  (Wired)

   "But Google found an answer in OpenFlow, an open source system jointly
    devised by scientists at Stanford and the University of California at
    Berkeley. Adopting an approach known as Software Defined Networking
    (SDN), OpenFlow gives network operators a dramatically increased level
    of control by separating the two functions of networking equipment:
    packet switching and management. OpenFlow moves the control functions
    to servers, allowing for more complexity, efficiency and flexibility."
