ietf, >1k people, easily fits in 10g, but tries to have two for
redundancy.  also no nat, no firewall, and even ipv6.  but absorbing or
combatting scans and other attacks cause complexity one would prefer to
avoid.  in praha, there was even a tkip attack, or so it is  believed;
turned off tkip.

the quakecon net was explained very poorly.  what in particular provides
game-quality latency, or lack thereof?  with only 2g, i guess i can
understand the cache.  decent bandwidth would reduce complexity.  and
the network is flat?
