In this paper, we take the position of developers that need to deploy emerging programmable protocols (or services) with specific network requirements and want to know how to benefit from an open router platform and testbed infrastructure. Our focus is to exploit the PolKA lifecycle experience as a use case to figure out a balance between integrating and reusing legacy protocols with new protocols.
