Appears to be a promotion for an obscure product by Huawei. Little evidence of notability in terms of 3rd party sources. Fails WP:GNG. Logical Cowboy (talk) 17:47, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The subject and context of the article are unclear; if it is to be kept, it is in need of serious cleanup to be suitable for an average reader. A Google search turned up hardly any reliable third-party sources. The article fails WP:NPOV and WP:SOAP because it seems to be biased towards the subject and might have only been written as a promotion. If the technology is as notable as this source claims, more reliable third-party sources should turn up in huge future, but for now, the subject is not very notable.

Delete. Wikipedia is not for something you published at a conference one day. This may become a notable technique, but it isn't now. De Guerre (talk) 12:37, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Software-defined networking is currently a "hot area" of research, with various vendors proposing their wares. I think the main article is sufficient for now, because [most of] the vendor-level stuff hasn't gained sufficient independent coverage [with the exception of OpenFlow it seems.] Someone not using his real name (talk) 00:02, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
