update SAN FRANCISCO--The Internet needs to be upgraded with a new layer of abilities that will deal with imminent problems of capacity, security and reliability, Intel Chief Technology Officer Pat Gelsinger said Thursday.

Gelsinger pointed to PlanetLab, an experimental network that sits on top
of the Internet, as a step in the right direction. Hewlett-Packard and
Intel have begun work trying to commercialize the project, which was
started in 2002, in order to overlay the Internet with intelligence and
adaptability.  [...]

Which is ironic given that many visible trends (optical cores, mpls, l2 ip dslams) point to dumber network devices not smarter ones. maybe they're in the business of selling microprocessors?
