» TCP/IP to go the way of the dodo

A story on the Register shows the growing costs of operating the internet and exponential increase in difficulty of growing it due to poor governance and protocols.
More drastically, the authors conclude that the political and technical structures for solving these problems need to be overhauled. "IETF and ICANN have been unable to deal with the range of issues and concerns adequately," the project suggests.

Dear Webmaster,

I have some good websites, whose resource pages are with good page
rank by Google. I am looking to exchanging links and we have many
categories so your site will be placed on an appropriate page.


If you are interested in swaping links please send me your website
details.

I am sorry if I wasting your time and have a nice day!

Best Regards,
Valentina Brill

so I take it that Eriond and LORD ORION have studied TCP/IP
thoroughly and are generally grand masters of networking?

So how would you address defeciencies in the TCP/IP protocol
stack!?! any idea...?

TCP/IP is a bloody good protocol, reliable and extreemly scalable. I
think the current version of IP needs to be revised (of course
IPv6). IP addresses on everything muhahhahahaha

When i said it was a load of crap i was talking about the article.
It sounds like these companies want to make a bucket of cash out of
doing 'upgrades'. y2k bug revisited if you know what i mean. I
obviously wasn't talking about TCP/IP, that wasn't made to make lots
of money. duh history boy.

"TCP/IP has got to be the crappiest protocol ever
invented."


"Sounds like a load of crap to me. Made up by some people who
want to make a lot of money some how."

Amazing. Take a protocol years ahead of it's time from DARPA in the
70s, and take the %!&@ out of it after it's held the test of time
for over 30 years.


Of course it's time to look at the next step - but don't slag off
something that currently holds the IT world together.


Next will be ISDN/T1/E1/SS7 that forms your Telco backbones .. but
wait ... what are they using to encapulate the voice video and
MGCP/SIP/H323 signalling data ... Ooh TCP/IP. Not so shite after all
then is it??


Some of you guys really need to grow up and learn some history and
technical competence before you shoot your mouths off without
knowledge of what you are actually talking about!

Whoah whoah... you have to remember when TCP/IP was invented, it was
being used to network computers that took up entire rooms. Nobody
ever imagined the internet as it is today. I think TCP/IP's held up
quite well, all things considered.

NetBEUI is fine for a home network of 5 computers or less perhaps.
TCP/IP isn't ALL that bad. there's still worse out there. I figure
IPv6 will come along soon. The costs to move from TCP/IP to a
"new" protocol would indeed be overwhelming, but not
impossible.

And speaking of a crap protocol... NetBEUI is horrible. Unreliable,
non-routable... but it is easy to set up. But as a real network
protocol it just doesn't stack up.
