Hi Scott,
You seem to be heading down a treacherous and slippery slope. Why do you think that the deployment of more (proprietary) intelligence into the core of the network is the way to "improve" the infrastructure? It seems to me that the more proprietary stuff you jam into the core of the network the less useful the network will become (as among the key drivers today are ubiquity and openness). Of course it is tempting for the equipment suppliers to move toward more proprietary equipment and protocols to build up and protect their own market position, but this is a real peril for the Internet.

I do believe that the caching and object routing will be big. That will raise big issues, though. I would much prefer to have more people thinking about the end-points (i.e. the *edges*). . .

Cheers,
Thomas
