Right, so in keeping this thought, is the WG interested in designing a
way to interact with L2 switches?
In my experience, 90% of mis-configuration issues are due to L2 switch
issues.
(I think that it's because there is no "traceroute" or "ping" which
works at L2, and so it's really hard to diagnose/determine if one did the
right thing.)

My current idea is to attempt to prototype this in DPDK, but not really any
point if nobody cares about this.

Abstract:
   This document details the challenges with building an Autonomic
   Control Plane on Campus/Enterprise networks which are built out of
   layer-two (Ethernet) switched technologies.

   This document does not propose a specific solution as yet, but
   details a number of possibilities, and what it would take to
   standardize each possibility.
