Macrosegmentation at the networking level just got a definition today, we're sure to remove the hyphen (Macro-segmentation) and abbreviate it.
A warm up on the details here:

At its most basic level, macrosegmentation will allow the re-direction of traffic between specific points in the network to enable logical topologies with firewalls and load balancing systems.
Very nifty trick considering:
Placement of the equipment is location independent.
Cybersecurity can continue to manage FW rules without blended support requirements.
It should* work with multi-vendor equipment.
It also brings back fond memories of an Arista whiteboard barstool in VMworld. Wish I took a picture of it.
