 Whether it is NOX or the !Openflow Regression Suite it is all in lots of C. Trying to make Ruby work with C seemed a bit too messy for our own good, so we sent an email to the NOX developer's mailing list in hopes of some elucidation of how to create a Ruby interface to !OpenFlow, instead of Python (which is what NOX does, as described [http://noxrepo.org/wp/?page_id=2 here])

+The following code bit creates a ruby telnet object, which essentially logs in and reconfigures port vlan assignments (I am particularily impressed/irked by the way I can now recall commands without even sitting in front of the CLI)
