Hey Joel!

Thanks a lot for the reply, really appreciate it.

If i may ask: With OpenFlow a network engineer could from now on pick which
features he or she wants to enable and which not. So i could for example
only use OSPF. Now, how does one configure OSPF on a controller? I mean in
a pure SDN environment where all the intelligence is in the controller.. Do
you configure OSPF on the controller? And is it like configuring OSPF on a
router?

Thanks again,
Farhad.
