<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>In fact
there seems to be pushback from both ends --- we can't deploy end-to-end
protocols because major companies own the end-host stacks; and we can't push
mechanisms deep into the network because ISPs and router companies own the
network. Arguably the latter source of pushback played a major role in the emergence
of the e2e philosophy; but now we have equally powerful commercial forces on
the other side.<br>
<br>
So effectively the only practical mode of deployment seems to be the 'almost'
end-to-end middlebox --- one hop away from the end-host but not quite into the
network (and the Maelstrom work I presented day before yesterday at NSDI would
be one example).<br>

I personally think that the network community has become frustrated with<br>
the inability to explore end-to-end protocols because the endpoint<br>
stacks are &quot;locked in&quot; by vendors in proprietary code.<br>
