Dear SDN enthusiasts (apologies for duplicates),

we are glad to announce a new version of our literature survey on SDN,
which is evolving towards an encyclopedia :)

Diego Kreutz, Fernando M. V. Ramos, Paulo Verissimo, Christian Esteve
Rothenberg, Siamak Azodolmolky, Steve Uhlig. "Software-Defined
Networking: A Comprehensive Survey." To appear in Proceedings of the
IEEE, 2015.

http://arxiv.org/abs/1406.0440

The new version features over 150 new references, an overview of
related SDN standardization activities, and a myriad of enhancements
as a result from the valuable comments from the reviewers as well as
the feedback and direct contribution from fellows via E-Mail or
directly via the Github repository:
https://github.com/SDN-Survey/latex/wiki

We would like to thank the received contributions as well as the
interest and feedback from those finding the material useful in grad
networking classes as well as in support of ongoing research
activities.

While v2 of the survey is now frozen for publication, we would like to
reinforce our call for further contributions looking towards to
maintain the document in github and arxig as a living, updated
reference, a challenge only manageable with help of the community.
Please, feel free to contribute to keeping the "SDN encyclopedia"
alive (preferably via github pull requests)!

Truly thankful,
Christian (on behalf of all co-authors)
Abs,
Ch
