Intel says Internet needs to change
Nurgled writes "At a recent Intel conference, CTO Pat Gelsinger said that something needs to be done to avoid the Internet buckling under the strain of new technologies and millions of new users. The BBC reports that Intel is attempting to layer a 'new Internet' over the existing network which can detect and counteract things like worm outbreaks and route traffic more intelligently during low and high traffic periods. Intel's prototype, PlanetLab, has 441 nodes but claims to be an open platform with documentation available on the site. What's in it for Intel, though?"
You do if you buy Intel products. If I'm not mistaken, Intel is an Israeli company with some of their biggest fabs operating in disputed territories. Every chip they sell means one more helpless palestinian will suffer or be killed because of your support for Intel.. You are to blame.
:) and integrated wazoo's up their butts..
Anyways, I guess this is Intel's way of getting out of the cpu market. AMD seems to have the upperhand as of late, with better chips, better technology, cooler tech (literally
Buy AMD Stock now!

I'll tell you what might be in it for Intel "and Dell, Micro$oft", you might have to have an Intel Processor that's inside a Dell that's using the latest subscription based windows just to access the internet.
Now if you want to listen to noise perfomed by Britney Smears that's full of DRM, you have to purchase the latest drivers from creative. and to watch the latest crap like Jackass IX, purchase the latest drivers from Nvidia. You see, monopolists stick together, and what Infuck, Microshit, Smell, Uncreative, Nvidia are trying for is go beyond just a piece of the pie, to owning the whole pie, and they can, and will get there by simply going by the old addage "We'll scratch your back if you'll scratch ours."
Remember, if you vote shititarian, you will ask for this at a faster rate. So if you do want this, then go ahead and vote shititarian.
No you don't. That would be impossible, since nothing in the NAT standards specicfy that NAT should drop any kind of packets. Can you even name a NAT implementation which blocks packets? Hints: Cisco's doesn't. Linux's doesn't. Most appliance broadband routers are incapable of being configured to do NAT without doing packet filtering.
They aren't sheilded from anything by NAT. NAT is incapable of shielding anything. A firewall is pretty good at shielding your internal hosts, but a firewall does not need NAT at all to perform that function.
Security through obscurity?
