Re: Eating My Collapse Column

But, again, I was wrong -- we were lucky -- about the 1996 gigalapse.

I don't think we were lucky, Bob. I think you were just wrong. You seem still not to have any clue about how much cooperation DOES exist among providers or how good IP service engineers are at predicting and managing growth, or at how the feedback loop between capacity and demand works in large scale networks. Service engineering is very different from product engineering. Most folks, including you, who are excellent at one are not excellent at the other.

Again, I was wrong. I ate the column. I am sorry. I am not worthy.

I don't know if I'd go that far. I wish I was sure that you'd meant well but I think you're poised to do better next time.
