[Click] click across multiple machines ?

[Petros Zerfos]

Hi Adam,

An interesting exercise to provide such functionality might be to
implement the ForCES framework (Forwarding and Control Element
Separation Protocol)

http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/forces-charter.html

that specifies how forwarding engines (and control elements) that
reside on multiple physical boxes should discover each other and
communicate.

Just an idea that might be towards the direction that you're considering.

Best,

Petros
