There's a workshop on just this kind of subject, from an even higher bird's eye (namely, how should we think about architecting networks) to be held at SIGCOMM 2003. Personally I'm looking forward to it and not just because SIGCOMM 2003 is in Germany. http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/ccr/cfp/CCR-arch-call.html Craig
