From: Michael Dillon <michael@memra.com> I don't know if you folks are following Metcalfe's columns...
The guy is seriously out of touch with reality. 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. And if he thinks backbone engineers have time to prepare slides (or have secretaries to do that for them) i'd like to move to the world he's living in. --vadim
