Citrix to Challenge VMware distributed swtich?

At Citrix Synergy, (May 2009) Citrix revealed its plans to release an open source distributed switch that could possibly compete with the Cisco Nexus 1000v switch for vSphere.

At present there is limited information but it has been highlighted the switch will support Xen and KVM with advanced networking features (Netflow, SPAN, RSPAN and ERSPAN) along with some key security features.

When will this be here? Who knows but it should be imminent as Citrix have requested Beta users, watch this space....
