Are you saying that even the fastest and biggest control plane on the market for your chassis is unable to support your requirements (assuming their cost did not stop you from looking at them in the first place)?
I believe it would, for a time, but it would require SW upgrade -testing etc.. even newer SW in itself gave us better resource management and performance optimizations. However even with powerful CP and streamlined SW we'd be still just buying time while pushing the envelope. Hence the decentralization at the edge seems like a natural strategy to exit the uroboros paradigm. adam
