The Next Net

Qa32 wrote to give a heads up on a BBC article discussing the IETF's plans for the future, including information on VoIP, IPv6, and security concerns. From the article: "Given the net was designed for the whole community, it has done well to reach millions. If you want to reach the whole population, you have to make sure it can scale up."

An easier way?

Given the net was designed for the whole community, it has done well to reach millions. If you want to reach the whole population, you have to make sure it can scale up.

Wouldn't it just be easier to lower the population to millions rather than changing current infrastructure?

"If you want to reach the whole population, you have to make sure it can scale up."

What that means to you, MBAs, is that it sounds like by i-deploying its cross-market and granular mix of best-of-breed technologies for today's e-enterprise, the interweb will finally be scalable!

If you know the IP of the web sites you want to visit, you can still access them.
