Well both and neither, both of these are used and much more!
As of 2010, many people would likely answer that question based on the Services they use as opposed to a religious adoration for TCP/IP.
What if TCP is removed ? and IP is completely re-worked in the same
160-bit foot-print as IPv4 ? Would 64-bit Addressing last a few years ?
That isn't going to happen to house it, think about how massively its implemented?
IPv6 is a loser because everyone has to carry the overhead of bloated packets. It is a one-size-fits-all take it or leave it solution. People leave it.
The real (new?) need is ONE-WAY streaming to carry ATSC to HDTVs. That can be done with 64-bit addressing in an IPv4 footprint. The Destination Address is most critical to deliver the AV show to the right viewer.
IPv6 is too little, too late, in too big a package and at a high price.
Some would agree, I don't. And its not too little to late because many people have already changing to IPv6, I think its quite high up there on ISPs todo list for those who haven't.
UNIX-based CPE is now under $50. Anyone can download the complete open source and all the tools to build it. http://www.linksysbycisco.com/gpl
UNIX-to-UNIX Service-Based solutions pre-date many ARPA DARPA DOD funding programs run by people who do not write code, they write contracts and purchase orders.
What is "The Internet" TCP/IP or UNIX-to-UNIX ?
Both and more. With your UNIX-to-UNIX suggestion, I'm not 100% sure on what you mean but what protocols do you think Unix uses? 'Cos it aint guna be Unix-Internet-Protocol/Transmission Control Protocol is it? Also when you say Unix systems I get the impression you are hinting at something open source, especially as that URL ends in /gpl but Unix isn't open source only some various of it are so if you were counting on open source as a solution, I don't believe you can. -- Regards, James. http://www.jamesbensley.co.cc/
