If I (semi)quote from page 2 in the paper:

   Propietary audio networks are growing in popularity for connecting
   routers to each other ...
   ...
   but the downside is that they are expensive and closed. 


Then I get the impression that they want to use commodity hardware and
also intend to be open (for some value of open.) This theme reoccures
several times throughout the paper.
