Open Stack

Neutron uses an overlay model with respect to differentiating against
physical switch logic. Big Switch is getting into a more literal
interpretation of SDN with the control/slave model but that's an approach
that's been so disruptive to implement it hasn't gained significant
traction last I heard.

I'd love to see Neutron talking to switches which will likely require an
OCP standard such as opendaylight or similar.
