Intel says Internet needs to change

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the open-invites-to-private-parties dept.

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?"

    Well I believe routing protocols should be the first to change. And one HTTP request should be able to transmit more than one files, e.g. ten images besides shit.html. And so on and so on and so on...

    ... since AMD (unlike Intel) doesn't encrypt microcode updates, a virus CAN do real damage to the physical cpu. Check out this for more details...
