What we really need is a new method of sending data. The fact that I will never be able to send something from Maine to California in less than 15 ms is not acceptable. The speed of light is such a drag. On Fri, Dec 30, 2011 at 6:01 AM, Tei <oscar.vives@gmail.com> wrote:

The web used to be request/reply. With the request small (but not small enough), and the reply long. But the time for permanent connections is comming. Links from clients to server that are permanent. Or look like that in the application layer.
On one sense, this is a optimization, no more pooling the server "do you have something for me?" every n seconds. But I imagine mostly make things like caching and proxies pointless.
At some point, users will start getting unhappy with web pages replies slower than 100 ms. ATM my webpages takes longer to start Jquery that all the server-client interactions. Most obvious optimization is never reload the page, and run everything trough ajax calls.
I am not dumb, I know turning webpages into applications make webpages to fragile. But I am scared of javascripts. Javascript is just too dawmn usefull now, browsers too broken (mostly IE), and Javascript is like a superhero that fix all. The web is going to change in a few years, from a "request" "reply" interchange network, to something more like a computer "bus". I don't know how the "wires" will react to this.

Actually an a Cisco presentation on Nexus 7k I asked whether it's possible to transport the FCoE over let's say EoMPLS or VPLS and did not get a straight answer though that was half a year ago -but it would be really cool to connect hard-drives directly over continents

yes, let's get something with say fixed sized packets, ability to have predictable jitter and also, for fun, no more STP! Ethernet is too complex, maybe something simpler? I hear there's this new tech 'ATM'? it seems to fit the bill!
Pfft. Everyone knows that Fibre Channel's going to replace everything... The minute we get those 128Gbit/sec transmission characteristics, Ethernet's gonna be as good as RS-485.
