Or is it even going to happen at all?IPX ruled the roost, very popularly, for a little while. How long did it take to die? Why did it die? What were the triggers that pushed it over the cliff? I think there's a lot to be learned from that piece of recent history. Specifically, as a demonstration of how a "most popular" protocol can find itself ejected from the arena in the blink of an eye. I knew several people who built their career path on the assumptions of IPX. Ouch.
There are reasonable arguments that IPX was better than IPv4 but IPv4 had all the mind share as the standard and IPX was the proprietary alternative. So everyone switched but more than a few were not happy afterward when the noticed the features they had lost. Thanks, Donald ============================= Donald E.
