Affordable hardware switch for SDN
Wheel in the Sky
Conclusions
The Zodiac FX costs around Aus$100 (roughly US$65 to $75, depending on the exchange rate), includes shipping and without customs charges. In return, you receive a nice little single-board system that lets you experiment with OpenFlow outside of the virtual world. You will also find a Lab Pack with four switches for Aus$350 [3].
The Zodiac FX is certainly not suited for production use, but as a development environment, it is an encouraging alternative to the Open vSwitch option.
