DESCRIPTION:The Internet plays a crucial role in interconnecting billions 
 of devices\, users\, and applications. To serve its purpose\, the Internet
  infrastructure should accommodate the ever-more-demanding performance req
 uirements of new applications (streaming video\, VoIP\, algotrading\, and 
 beyond). Yet\, despite extensive efforts by both researchers and practitio
 ners\, the Internet infrastructure has remained fairly stagnant for decade
 s and\, consequently\, suffers from both bad performance and alarming secu
 rity vulnerabilities.\n\nI will discuss two promising approaches for boots
 trapping innovation in the Internet: (1) exploiting network programmabilit
 y at Internet eXchange Points (IXPs)\, the crossroads of Internet traffic\
 , to provide new network functionalities\, and (2) enhancing the routing e
 xpressiveness of today's legacy networks without modifying the network inf
 rastructure. As an example of (1)\, I will present SIXPACK\, a theory-info
 rmed approach for route-computation at IXPs that both provides richer expr
 essiveness in route selection and is provably privacy-preserving. As an ex
 ample of (2)\, I will present COYOTE\, a legacy-compatible traffic enginee
 ring mechanism that is robust to traffic variations.
