The model of a clear and simple Internet where end hosts can simply
send packets across a transparent network is largely an historical
notion. These days we sit behind a dazzling array of so-called
“middleware”, including Network Address Translators, Firewalls, Web
caches, DNS interceptors, TCP performance shapers, and load
balancers, to name but a few. So the question is: Have we gone past
the end-to-end argument? Are we heading back to a world of
bewilderingly complex and expensive networks?
