Perhaps a new class of network devices would be some sort of network auditor that sample traffic and check for diversions. These would have to contain almost exclusively open hardware and software and be buildable by individual customers.

Building audit boxes should be less of a complex task than attempting to do full-fledged devices that carry traffic. But I suspect large datacenter operators to have better control over the firmware and software inside their own boxes.
