This is interesting. Does niche knowledge in this area command $1mn salary?

It can, in general knowing how to shuffle packets according to RFCs is a pretty decent gig. Pretty much every hyperscaler ends up building various LBs and the learning curve is too steep to just toss randos at it unsupervised, but at the same time it's not necessarily inventing anything new most of the time.
