I am still not really conviced about the 'zone', but this does not have 
to change with this series.
I like the other changes, but I think there are some minor issues.

If I am too picky please tell me:
First we talk about traffic through the 'host' and then we switch to 
talking about 'node level'.
Shouldn't we at least stick with one word? I think this can confuse users.

I think the verb is missing in this sentence also i'd change the

Traffic is passing trough a SDN VNet, either from guest to guest, from 
host to guest or vice-versa.
