SDN Internet Router (sir)

“With plain IP routers?”

Yes, or, well, relatively plain, depending on the implementation.

The originally linked project used Arista.

As completely plain routers have no difficulty to treat a
default route, it is a waste of money and effort to try to
have not so plain routers to do so regardless of whether the
routers are SDN ones or not.

I don’t even know where this conversation has gone anymore.

You have reached a terminal point in the NANOG mailing list state
machine: NOP-ARGUE

Many paths lead to this state, and it isn't unique to NANOG.

The sub-state is: I-THINK
   People are now arguing about the relative merits of
   their counter argument to what they *THINK* you said.

My take: having the term SDN in the Subject: doomed this conversation.
