Now ask yourself how decisions are made regarding new infrastructure deployments.

But what I actually had in mind was QoS.

Who is using deep learning for packet routing and QoS decisions?

No one I know of, from the last time I did check on this topic. However, it seems possible to plug ML on top of something like OpenFlow. PM me if interested to look this up further.

Thanks. I was mostly interesting in seeing a source for maaku's statement of "Now ask yourself how decisions are made regarding new infrastructure deployments", as it seemed pretty condescending to me.

New infrastructure deployments is not "packet routing" and QoS is usually as strongly tied to policy as BGP is.

If you have an example of QoS relying on ML, I would be interested in reading more.
