Vint Cerf's Disruption-Tolerant Networking
An anonymous reader writes "Net pioneer, Vint Cerf, talked this week about the space internet (the Interplanetary
Internet), and an interesting 1994 April Fool's email he
penned as a Request for Comment [1607]. The thread involves a reverse time
capsule from the year 2023, but covers Cerf's side interests in Shakespeare.
Since 2004 marks the 30th anniversary of publication of the first paper
on the Internet, his views on the future
of the net and Interplanetary
Internet seem to have morphed somewhat into delay and disruption tolerant
networking because of high demand for videoconferencing, Voice-Over IP, and multimedia."
I'd take that "measly" 50 PFLOP system anyday! (insert Beowulf Cluster joke here)
ya' know, this future email got me thinking. Is there a way to carbon date something that has existed yet?
the whole point, dullard, is that one uses the title information to elucidate what the 'click here' is.
i.e. for more information click here
Though I wa sonly using that as an example. One should phrase one's content to suit the hypertext model.
We have plenty of information on dullards.
It is also useful where one uses an image
in this way, one can combine a bit of eye candy while providing the required information should images be unavailable
There are places where the networks are not touching,and there are places where they are-Boeing's Lori Gunter
