DARPA Aims to Redo the Internet Protocol

Xaleth Nuada writes "The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) is looking to redo the entire Internet Protocol. With the DoD increasingly adopting network-centric warfare the shortcomings in the current IP have become resoundingly clear. Everything works fine for static hardwired networks. But not for dynamic wireless ones. The benefits for your average geek? How about REAL wireless networking? Easier network set-up? Increased wireless security protocol? Increased reliability in sending information?" Don't forget massive incompatibility and upgrade hassles. :)

Damn... You ARE stupid.

Yes, they're snoops (what we all call them), but it doesnt make them bad at all. So waht they put together TIA. Who told them to? Congress.

What the snoops do good for the "rest of us" is they give us a various amounts of software and technology. One I am sure you've seen is NSALinux patches. Their core beleif if foregins can get into our infrastructure, it's BAD.
