Lambda station

So what did CMS say at GridPP33?  Having looked ahead to the future, they came up with more speculative suggestions. Like FNAL's Lambda Station in the past, one suggestion was to look again at scheduling network for transfers, what we might nowadays call network-as-a-service (well, near enough): since we schedule transfers, it would indeed make sense to integrate networks more closely with the pre-allocation at the endpoints (where you'd bringOnline() at the source and schedule the transfer to avoid saturating the channel.) Phoebus is a related approach from Internet2.
