Who ever wrote that doesn't know what they're talking about. LISP is not the IETF's proposed solution (the IETF don't have one, the IRTF do),
Um, I would not agree. The IRTF RRG considered and is documenting a lot of things, but did not come to any consensus as to which one should be a "proposed solution." Regards Marshall
and streaming media was seen to be one of the early applications of the Internet - these types of applications is why TCP was split out of IP, why UDP was invented, and why UDP has has a significantly different protocol number to TCP.
-------------------------------------------------------------- "NAT is your friend"
"IP doesn’t handle addressing or multi-homing well at all"
"The IETF’s proposed solution to the multihoming problem is called LISP, for Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol. This is already running into scaling problems, and even when it works, it has a failover time on the order of thirty seconds."
"TCP and IP were split the wrong way"
"IP lacks an addressing architecture"
"Packet switching was designed to complement, not replace, the telephone network. IP was not optimized to support streaming media, such as voice, audio broadcasting, and video; it was designed to not be the telephone network." --------------------------------------------------------------
And so, "...the first principle of our proposed new network architecture: Layers are recursive."
I can hear the angry hornets buzzing already. :-)
