He seems to be completely unable to comprehend the fact that packet loss is not a malfunction but rather the nature's way to say "you need more bandwidth". And the fact that it was exactly suits who got Internet to that point; engineers keet screaming about inadequate facilities for as long as i could remember.
As I have said before (and have gotten flamed for it), Bob Metcalfe may have been an engineer in a previous life, but has no clue for the way things are run today. Nor is he following it. He is just another trade rag columnist who is quick to jump on the bandwagon and offer his toughts on a subject he knows nothing about. He may have created ethernet, but today's technology seems to be new to him. /cah - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
