Using Cloud Resources to Dramatically Improve Internet Routing UMass Amherst researchers to use cloud-based ‘logically centralized control’
Executive summary: it's SDN for BGP. Centralizing Internet routing, what could go wrong? (As the authors say, "One reason is there is no single entity that has a big picture of what is going on, no manager". I wonder who will be Internet's manager.) Otherwise, an impressive amount of WTF. My favorite: "while communication by servers ___on the ground___ might take hundreds of milliseconds, in the cloud the same operation may take only one millisecond from one machine to another" I thought that universities were full of serious people, but university of Massachusets may be an exception?
