Reading Review for Class 13
This class’s readings are:
Your review should include both a summary of the paper portions,
which discusses
- the problem the papers collectively address
- the collective solution
- the evidence they provide that the solution was
correct. Remember to keep in mind the historical context the
papers discuss.
Your review should also discuss, after the summary:
- whether the problem the paper solved is an important
one
- whether the solution was a good one
- whether the paper was fun or enjoyable to read.
- what questions you have about the paper, or which parts of the paper
(if any) you found hard to understand.
You should answer the above questions in about one sentence each. The
remainder of your review (about the below questions) should be about a
page (~500 words) long.
Finally, for this week’s papers, please reflect on the following
questions:
- Are middleboxes a violation of the end-to-end principle? Why or why
not, and does it matter?
- In what ways are the API of Click (1999) and Azure VFP (2017)
similar or different? To what extent does each support the policies that
the Aplomb paper identifies?
