Huge need, IMHO (from propositions I made to the ITU and I would like to 
insert into mad-WG-ltru lack of thinking), but not with the adopted 
architecture. This is why I would propose that before closing the shop with 
think about "ROPES", reverse OPES where instead of being seen as a 
supported smart middle-box, we would consider a smart network with shims 
inserted on the path, leadership being to the server - shims being 
potentially shared - not to what you want to call OPES.
