Where else can blockchain be used in networking?

Other uses notwithstanding, it should be good for inflating the share price of any network vendor that adds "now with 
block chain!" somewhere into their product portfolio.

Hi,

Do folks on this list see blockchain technology making inroads into the
networking? I can see blockchain being used to secure the SDN
environment
where blockchain will allow encrypted data transfers between nodes
(ones
hosting different applications, the SDN controller, the data plane
devices)
regardless of the network size or its geographical distribution.
