    What a bunch of fluff. It pisses me off when an MBA walzes in & their genius revelation is that it would be nice if "everything worked together". Fundamental differences at all layers of the OSI model, combined with competing technologies that won't open up their systems make this vision unobtainable. Yeah, let's weave together this short range wireless token ring network with this IP net - all we have to do is NAT all boxes in the token ring net. Then we have cell phones - don't have any IPs for them, guess we want them to talk IPv4 since the rest already is - NAT them too. Shit, is the garage door opener supposed to be on this magical pixie network? Screw it, time for IPv6 - OK everyone, upgrade everything you have to talk IPv6, and you garage door opener manufacturers schedule a tech meeting with these cellular manufacturers over here because your frequencies overlap. What were we doing again? oh yeah, trying to get actual work done at the nodes instead of playing with the paths.

    Nice suit. Get out of the engineering department. we have real work to do.
