Stu Bailey is a certain type of irrepressible tech entrepreneur. Although he's founder and CTO of InfoBlox, a network control solution provider, he seldom talks about his company -- and instead gets excited about emerging SDN technology with no immediate revenue potential.
In other words, Bailey gets to play, but with a purpose. His latest science project is LINCX, a production-ready virtual networking switch that is available as a free download to the SDN community via FlowForwarding.org. LINCX is not an InfoBlox product. Instead, it's a modest open source project based on the OpenFlow specification that demonstrates something profound about the future of networking.
