The Internet has been a remarkable success, but many in the research community that contributed to its design now point to limitations and vulnerabilities that are stressing its underlying architecture. This has led to a call for new, clean-slate designs, but it is widely
acknowledged that a "red flag day" for transitioning to such a new architecture is not
realistic. This talk addresses this delima, and shows how wide-area network testbeds, such as PlanetLab and ViNI (and eventually GENI) can provide a platform for continually reinventing the Internet.
