At Mobile World Congress, little-known startup Affirmed Networks got a surge of attention after being picked by AT&T to work on the LTE evolved packet core (EPC). It turns

OK, they still look like switches, but Corsa's boxes are purely OpenFlow beasts, their only job being to execute OpenFlow commands in a pure SDN environment.
