You've railed against SMTP+AUTH because it's not a "standard". Why do you give a rat's rump about 1546? DA> Well, PPLB isn't the end of the world. But PPLB is coming, and the smart DA> people will be prepared for it. They dumb people, well, they're dumb. Perhaps PPLB becomes more common. Time for SACK, lest traditional TCP do bad things. As for anycast, there's a fair chance people building anycast clusters will work around PPLB. Maybe they'll build topologies to avoid problems. Maybe they'll have behind-the-scenes unicast intelligence to deal with TCP session transfer. I'll leave it at that. This thread is getting old, and 1xRTT latency makes SSH uncomfortable. DA> What can be expected from dumb people? Frequent NANOG posting.
