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.

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.
