NOX is sort of an acronym for "Network Operating System". I think the S was
changed to an X since "NOS" already had some usage for other things and since
trailing "X"es are widely accepted in the world of operating systems. :) But
the acronym has never really been a part of the story (despite the original NOX
paper being called "NOX: Towards an Operating System for Networks"), and I
don't think it was ever really spelled out explicitly. It's really always
pretty much been a name of its own. So it probably wouldn't be too awkward if
you didn't know what it stood for... I don't think you'd be the only one.
And POX is just a portmanteau for "Python nOX".

What do NOX and POX stand for? I am doing my masters thesis on SDN. It would be
awkward if I do not know their abbreviation.
