Hello Stockman,

So there are two ways to deal with the lower layer bottlenecks ... fix them by optimizing the routing and switching infrastructure ... or eliminate the need for lower layer routed and switched traffic.

That is what the "higher layer" object routing does ... it replaces end-to-end packet routing with point-to-point object routing.

In other words, if we can reduce the dependencies on packet routing and switching then we have reduced or eliminated the lower layer bottleneck.
