If you haven’t followed my blog for a few months you may not know what CrossBow is, simply it’s the virtulization of network devices, you can devide a single network device that may even be a virtual device or do the inverse take multiple network devices and aggregate their bandwidth. Right now it only supports a few devices but more are coming.

Here are a couple old blog entries where I wrote about the power of crossbow.
