I never said it would. I said that the SDN movement might give standardized APIs into what the forwarding hardware does, including packet treatment such as queuing behaviour. It might also mean that if someone implemented a certain queuing behaviour and this ended up defined by the API description, more vendors might implement the same thing. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
