This sounds something like the MEF Third Network type stuff.... I mean the ability to setup connection dynamically across network boundaries on-the-fly, via an ordering system... that has always sounded awesome to me... and I've wondered how we could actually get there one day.
to me, this was the dream of optical switching and gmpls (which is not mpls)
And, pray tell, what is the use of me setting up "peering" between myself and a network on the other side of the world when the data still has to flow over the same connections, merely encapsulated inside a tunnel? Reminds me of the old days when you could directly connect "Chicago" to "Denver" using a direct connection over a PVC that was routed Chicago -> New York -> Miami -> Los Angeles -> Denver. Sure, it looks like a direct connection, but ... Or will this magical interface also deploy robots to build the physical layer?
