BTW, we, at Udel did header compression most likely prior to Van (onD.J. Farber, G. Delp, T.M. Conte, Thinwire protocol for connecting personal computers to the Internet, Internet historic RFC 0914, September 1984)

Van Jacobsen implemented header compression for TCP because without it his Telebit Trailblazer modem was too slow. As Geoff Goodfellow noted in 1989: "Without an economic basis, further development of short-term Internet technology is has been skewed. The most interesting innovations in Internet engineering over the last five years have occurred in resource poor, not resource rich, environments." http://securitydigest.org/tcp-ip/archive/1989/08 Ed On Nov 21, 2007 6:22 PM, David Farber <dfarber () cs cmu edu> wrote:

The study found that corporate and consumer Internet usage could surpass the Internet access infrastructure, specifically in North America, but also worldwide, within the next three to five years.<http://telephonyonline.com/home/news/internet_network_capacity_111907/ >------------------------------------------- Archives: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
