The problem is that data centers contain a large number of middleboxes (firewalls, load balancers) and configuring it (order and when they need to be used) is hard.
The paper presents a switching layer enabling policies to be deployed for which middleboxes to be used and in which order, making configuration much easier.
I liked the paper and think it may be influential in 10 years because I think this type of enhancement would really improve the current state of on-path design.
