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."

Um...The site says Delay, not Disruption....wtf?
Bored? Why not join a decent mess
Now if only someone can find a way to keep the internet from disrupting my productivity at work...
It stops on a dime, then picks it up.
This brings up an interesting step in the path towards trying to settle Mars... would it be a smart idea to have communciations satellites orbiting Mars before we send the first humans?
Having the already-in-space assets so that reliable Earth-to-Mars links can be established could be very useful to the first manned missions, especially so we could avoid losing contact in the situations where they'd otherwise have to transmit through the planet to get back to earth.
Imagine having all of Mars already be a wireless Internet hotspot before we get there...
...is all nice and fine, but disruption/delay tolerant people, those are a rarity.
EVERYDAY IS CATURDAY

A Twinkie.
Why, yes I have. What about it?
actually more like 6 years ago!
a completely fault-tolerant, disruption proof, delay proof networking communications protocol.
its done. its been sitting on my desk for years, collecting dust. Its been done so much, evolutionary improvements to steps beyond are already done.
no one cares. no one wants it. even for free, even as OSS... oh well...
ps its called "L2R"... just a hint...

One if you spread him real thin.
I think you're probably the best person to find a way to stop the internet disrupting your productivity - STOP SURFING the net while you're at work! :)
ya' know, this future email got me thinking. Is there a way to carbon date something that has existed yet?

"No problem, it's my job," Hayley answered, professionally. "I like to help my patients feel better." Ben's seven-inch flaccid penis rested heavily on his thigh. Haley picked it up with her slickened hand, glanced at the second-hand of her watch, and began the 60-second treatment, consisting of rubbing the cream into the skin of his shaft with long slow firm strokes. Some nurses applied the cream with their fingertips; Hayley preferred to wrap her hand around it and pump up and down, up over his corona and back down to the base. Ben's penis quickly achieved its 11-inch erect stature. "I'm sorry I always get a har . . , er, I mean an erection. But I can't help it. It's kinda embarrassing," Ben said, trying to keep his mind off Hayley's stroking hand. "Don't worry about that at all, Ben. I'm a professional nurse, or at least I will be one soon," replied Hayley. "I'm only here to administer your medical treatment. Don't think of this as a sexual situation. Anyway, you're a healthy young man, and your reaction is completely natural." She continued the treatment nonchalantly, glancing at her wrist watch to check the time. Thirty seconds to go. Like the other nurses who administered his treatment every couple of hours, Hayley was secretly intrigued by the size of his member. "I suppose it's not very professional of me to say so, Ben, but you certainly have a magnificent organ - outstanding, if you'll pardon the pun! Your girlfriends must have a lot of fun with it." "Uh, well, I don't have much luck with girls," Ben replied, trying to remain calm while Hayley continued to stroke. "I never know what to say." Ten seconds to go. Ben felt an orgasm approaching and tried to remain completely calm and motionless, hoping that Hayley would not notice that he was about to come so he could finally get relief after four days of tormet. Five seconds. Two seconds . . "There, that does it," Hayley said matter-of-factly, stopping her stroking only seconds before Ben would have spurted. She kept her first wrapped tightly at the base of his throbbing shaft, feeling it pulse in her hand. "Feels like you got close, Ben. This must be very frustrating for you." She kept her hand tightly around his shaft, longer than may have been necessary. Ben assumed that she was simply feeling his pulse in a clinical, objective way. "It is," affirmed Ben, trying to sound relaxed. "But I'm getting used to it," he lied. Despite the intense frustration of having his ejaculation halted just before it began, the excitement of being brought to the brink of orgasm by a beautiful, buxom nurse's hands was more enjoyable that the frustration was unbearable. oaned. "Can't you make me come, please?" he pleaded. "Please, please, please" Ben was begging now, having lost all hope of preserving his dignity. "Oh, I wish I could, Ben, I truly do. I would love to give you relief. I would even let you come inside me." Hayley paused a few moments, gazing at his pulsing member, seeming to ponder letting his 11-inch cock slide into her wet vagina. Ben sensed that she was considering the possibility. He lurched against his restraints, helplessly. Hayley abruptly shook her head quickly side to side a couple of times, coming to her senses. "Ben, I would love to. I can almost feel your beautiful organ sliding in and out of me. I'm getting wet, just imagining it. But you know I can't. The head nurse would find out and I would be in trouble. Besides, your treatment program doesn't allow it." Ben threw his head against the pillow and arched his back, groaning in agony, his body contorted with tension. "Please, please, Hayley, I can't stand it," he begged. "You've got to help me!" "Ben, I want to comfort you so bad. I hate seeing you in such pain, and I feel guilty for making you suffer even more. I've been so selfish. Maybe it would help to nurse a little while? Babies need comfort nursing, even when they aren't hungry." With that, Hayley supported herself on both arms, suspending her breasts over his face, and put one nipple to Ben's mouth, saying, "Close your eyes and relax wh
I think we should send up robots that can create really "cheap" (as in not fancy, low quality) solar cells out of the materials already available on Mars.

The current set of satellites provide communication links between the landers and Earth.

Liars! Everyone knows Al Gore Invented the internet!
I remember when once I was auditing a Windows network (it was few years ago) which turned out to be very disruption-tolerant. In fact, it was so tolerant, that it was constantly being disrupted one way or another. Of course my advice was to remove Windows from the most critical servers and install Linux and *BSD. Since then, it was disruption-intolerant.

You are in a twisty maze of processor lines, all alike.

Mars Gets first DDOS
An anonymous reader writes, "It appears a group of hackers have successfully performed the first denial of service attack against Mars, taking the interplanetary internet down for several hours today. The hackers managed to mask their IPv8 addresses by rerouting through several interplanetary sublinks that initially showed them originating approxmatley 600,000 miles away from earth in the middle of space." Update 20:24GMT Yeah its a dupe again! We ran a story on this for three days in a row. It was originally posted here, here and here.

Great idea! Unfortunately, such robots don't exist.
Perhaps instead we should use a time machine to travel back in time and start our attempt to inhabit mars back then so that now in the present we will already have people on mars!
Great idea! Unfortunately, such robots don't exist.
Just as human carrying Mars landers don't yet exist. I believe the idea is to think up things that don't exist yet, and then build them.
I think Mr. Cerf himself has some experience with that particular protocol.

The current set of satellites provide communication links between the landers and Earth.
Yes, however it's clear that the limited bandwidth provided by those satalites is not nearly as much as one would wish for an entire human settlement to have to share.
Also it would be smart to have 100% dedicated communications satallites so that there would be less chance of something unrelated to communications causing a problem on the satallite.
Don't get me wrong, the satallites have been great (I work on MER) however we still have to throw away observations due to bandwidth constraint, and we have to wait quite a bit to get data back, on the order of several hours... not an ideal situation!
Maybe a few optical links with a radio backup would do the trick.

There's another article on this HERE.

This is an excellent user land TCP application that automatically re-connects to dropped TCP connections, even if the IP addresses change.
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~zandy/rocks
There is also an in-depth paper by the authors.
Rocks protect sockets-based applications from network failures, particularly failures common to mobile computing, including:
* Link failures (e.g., unexpected modem disconnection);
* IP address changes (e.g., laptop movement, DHCP lease expiry);
* Extended periods of disconnection (e.g., laptop suspension).
Rock-enabled programs continue to run after any of these events; their broken connections recover automatically, without loss of in-flight data, when connectivity returns. Rocks work transparently with most applications, including SSH clients, X-windows applications, and network service daemons.
bah, slashcode breaks the title attribute in hrefs and co-opts it for it's own use, bad programming.
It is helpful to blind readers and page indexers esp. if the label text is something like 'click here' to provide some information on the content of the link. grr sometimes I gets so mads

That's probably why NASA already have the Mars Telecommunications Orbiter scheduled for launch in 2009. This is still being spec'ed out but optical links, which are currently described as testing\Proof of concept and primary Ka-Band capabilities (once proven in MRO below) are both in plan right now.
Next year's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has significantly better telecoms relaying capability than the existing Odyssey\MGS orbiters - 6Mbits/sec using Ka-band. This goes with some major upgrades to the DSN as this currently has 10Mbit/sec limitations for telecoms at Mars distances AFAIK. This JPL presentation has lots of detail on the near term\medium term plans and proposals and where the IPN fits in. This indicates that the bandwidth of optical links to mars would be in the 30-300Mbps range.
We have an Internet-content delivery system that works in a high-latency environment, to deliver mail and web content to South African schools.
http://wizzy.org.za/
The problem it is designed to overcome is the high cost of local telephone calls in a monopoly wireline provider regulatory environment.
We use cheap-rate overnight phone calls and a UUCP delivery system in conjunction with a local mailserver and wwwoffle web cache.
UUCP can also be used via a USB memory stick, similar to the DataMule (pdf) paper referenced on the website. Carrying the memory stick (the Courier) is identical to one UUCP hop.
The website gives more information.

Imagine having all of Mars already be a wireless Internet hotspot before we get there...
and a Starbucks in every crater.
the whole point, dullard, is that one uses the title information to elucidate what the 'click here' is.
i.e. for more information <a href="info.html" title="information on dullards">click here</a>
Though I wa sonly using that as an example. One should phrase one's content to suit the hypertext model.
We have plenty of <a href="info.html" title="dullard information">information on dullards</a>.
It is also useful where one uses an image
<a href="info.html" title="dullard information"><img src="dullard.gif" alt="a smiling dullard"></a>
in this way, one can combine a bit of eye candy while providing the required information should images be unavailable

Ummm, set up the whole infrastructure required for human existence before you send humans? When when they get there they could have a place to stay, ready for occupancy, just like a HoJo. Maybe set up more than one? Pick a place with a nice view.
Well, Protocol Seven did do away with the need to actually have a computer to connect to The Wired, so I suspect IP v.8 would be entirely unnecessary.
