Looking at how Argo is presented (from the blog post), it seems like you've got a really strong use case for SDN, if you're not already using that already. As far as I can tell, dynamically updating routes across an internal network is one of the best non-internal-to-data-center uses of SDN - can you expand a little more on this, if you do use it, or on why you don't, if I'm completely off base? Cheers, argo seems like an interesting project.

Yes, Argo is very "SDN" under the covers :) The data plane runs on our x86 fleet and its control plane is driven by custom route computation and propagation systems (discussed a little more in the post). We're excited to talk more about the technical underpinnings of Argo in the future.

  >Yes, Argo is very "SDN" under the covers :) Ha I was reading the post again thinking about how you all did this, and it boiled down to OpenFlow/OVS/SDN magic, or you REALLY went all in on Cisco offerings. >We're excited to talk more about the technical underpinnings of Argo in the future. Looking foward to this update, thanks for the response!
