this is the ability of a single host operator to make
their own local policy decisions.
which leads to the heat death of the net
or allows the net to prosper, since policy is distributed rather
than centralised.

consider verifying, or making any assertions about, or having any
confidence in, the correctness of a universe of distributed and
opaque policy.

i once worked for an m&a isp which acquired some sixty+ small isps.
my comment on the non-global thinkers in the acquisitions was
"think locally, act globally."
