Andy Linton is now an OpenFlow expert
It took 2h. About 30m to make an OpenFlow controller PC out of bunch of trash, and boot my controller DVD. "ed" wasn't available on my controlled DVD so I made Andy use nano to configure it. That slowed us down quite a bit. 90m to put OpenFlow firmware on a 3780 switch, including walking up and down the hill to VUW get 1G SFPs. So if you have any questions about whether OpenFlow/SDN works/forwards packets in hardware - ask Andy. He knows. And has a live CD controller.
I guess we all know who's doing the OpenFlow presentation at NZNOG2013 then

A hands-on workshop would be kinda cool

Would people be keen on an MPLS workshop with no-name switches powered by
openflow?
