Also possibly that the whole SDN movement means hardware will get standardized APIs so in case there is hardware acceleration on the CPE, this can be handled by any kernel and not just the kernel that the vendor has modified to work with their special hardware.

I don't  how SDN would help for queuing.

I never said it would. I said that the SDN movement might give standardized APIs into what the forwarding hardware does, including packet treatment such as queuing behaviour. It might also mean that if someone implemented a certain queuing behaviour and this ended up defined by the API description, more vendors might implement the same thing.
