Routing is yesterday switching is tomorrow

Tech giants such as google and Facebook demand so much traffic that they build their own undersea cables. These cables essentially connect their data center switches. Nexus 9000 and QFX are the most important products of their respective vendors.

Innovations are happening in the data center - virtualization, cloud, bhah bhah bhah as a service etc. Even VXLAN and EVPN are gearing towards supporting a switched network platform.

That’s why someone has came up with the title of the post. Is this the case?
