There are jobs that industry must tackle and is rightfully their responsibility, e.g. more reliable routers/switches, easier less error prone configurations, better quality control of software, undo functions, non-intrusive system/controller upgrades, controlled access to selected router information, self aware/autonomic (self-healing) networks
	Recovery Oriented Networking (RON): Develop consensus and working code for acceptable performance metrics such as MTBF, MTTR (focus on evaluating recovery time), causes of problems. Then develop suites to inject common (including human, software, and hardware) errors and measure robustness and recovery time – like what Whetstone benchmarks did for processors
	The Internet had early success in network device monitoring with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and its associated Management Information Bases (MIBs). There has been comparatively less success in managing networks, in contrast to the hierarchical monitoring of individual devices. Unfortunately, network management research has historically been very under-funded, because it is difficult to get funding bodies to recognize this as legitimate networking research.
