What is "The Internet" TCP/IP or UNIX-to-UNIX ? As of 2010, many people would likely answer that question based on the Services they use as opposed to a religious adoration for TCP/IP. What if TCP is removed ? and IP is completely re-worked in the same 160-bit foot-print as IPv4 ? Would 64-bit Addressing last a few years ? IPv6 is a loser because everyone has to carry the overhead of bloated packets. It is a one-size-fits-all take it or leave it solution. People leave it. The real (new?) need is ONE-WAY streaming to carry ATSC to HDTVs. That can be done with 64-bit addressing in an IPv4 footprint. The Destination Address is most critical to deliver the AV show to the right viewer. IPv6 is too little, too late, in too big a package and at a high price. UNIX-based CPE is now under $50. Anyone can download the complete open source and all the tools to build it. http://www.linksysbycisco.com/gpl UNIX-to-UNIX Service-Based solutions pre-date many ARPA DARPA DOD funding programs run by people who do not write code, they write contracts and purchase orders.
