Sure - a short one. PlanetLab isn't a *network* overlay; it virtualizes
host resources, but doesn't virtualize addresses, deploy tunnels, or
otherwise support virtual networking.

It's a fine testbed on which overlays can be deployed by experimenters
(with limitations), but the testbed itself has nothing to do with
network virtualization IMO. I.e., we don't call VMware a system for
network virtualization either.

Anyone who can demonstrate otherwise, please certainly speak up.

A minor correction: Table 1 lists the X-Bone as application layer; it is
network layer.
