So Cogent or Level3 or Netflix files a complaint with the FCC against Comcast, the FCC issues a ruling, and everyone tweaks the rules in their Procera boxes to comply with the ruling. They don’t stop buying the boxes, IMHO.
I would think the threat would be that some big company like Juniper or Cisco or Brocade comes out with an ASIC based box that can handle hundreds of gigabits at wire speed. ASICs to inspect the traffic, ASICs to shape the traffic, software to control it. Maybe incorporate it into a router or switch that the carrier buys anyway. I’m not sure Procera has a box for the really big carriers like Comcast, AT&T, Verizon. I assume Google Fiber will design and build their own, unless they totally believe in throwing bandwidth at the problem.

I would have expected Procera would have been in trouble due to net neutrality. Not sure why they were a target.
