Less than 3 years? That's a solid reason for escrow.

I practiced a similar question about software agreements, and I think the age of the product matters too, especially if it's new in the market.

I remember discussing SLAs in class, and I feel like not having one might also warrant an escrow agreement, but I can't recall the specifics.

This is a good question to test our understanding of software-defined networking. I'll make sure to explain how the flexibility and programmability of these networks provide benefits over traditional, hardware-centric approaches.
