互联网现有架构发生重大变化的前景似乎很渺茫。除了需要改变路由器和主机软件之外，互联网的多供应商性质还要求ISP共同同意任何架构的改变。关于架构研究的潜在影响的经典故事一直认为，如果测试台实验表明一种架构是有前途的，ISP和路由器供应商可能会采用它。这个故事在互联网的早期可能是现实的，但现在不是了：不仅在众多供应商之间难以达成一致，而且试图这样做也会消除架构创新的任何竞争优势。通过提供对虚拟测试平台的轻松访问，作者希望促进应用架构研究的复兴，扩展到增量部署设计之外。此外，通过用一个与实验方法密切相关的合理的部署故事取代一个不可信的部署故事，他们希望提高研究界的视野。
The prospects for significant change in the Internet's existing architecture appear slim. In addition to requiring changes in routers and host software, the Internet's multiprovider nature requires that ISPs jointly agree on any architectural change.The canonical story about architectural research's potential impact has long maintained that if testbed experiments show an architecture to be promising, ISPs and router vendors might adopt it. This story might have been realistic in the Internet's early days, but not now: Not only is reaching agreement among the many providers difficult to achieve, attempting to do so also removes any competitive advantage from architectural innovation.By providing easy access to virtual testbeds, the authors hope to foster a renaissance in applied architectural research that extends beyond incrementally deployable designs. Moreover, by replacing a discredited deployment story with a plausible one closely linked to the experimental methodology, they hope to raise the research community's sights.
