Indeed, I agree.
I remember earlier times when there were serious concerns over
serious traffic bottlenecks, primarily due to the lag in speed-of-bits-on-the-wire technology ramp up. I recall the
NSFnet backbone at a whopping 56kb trunk speed prior to the
node transition(s)!
We, collectively, have left those days behind for the most part.
Now, it's just a matter of "five-pound-bag" engineering.
I'm quite proud and happy to see this experiment succeed to
the point where we have the "problems" we do.
