Funniest point in this talk is that it happens at the same time as the
SDN hysteria gains momentum. Looks like we'll rather end up with the
whole Internet switched to static routes and FBF-filters managed through
a centralized "controller", than a more or less ideal (aka pure piece of
control plane software) BGP reflector platform will be released by one
of the two vendors :)
