Military To Spend $42M To Build Advanced Network Control
coondoggie writes "BBN, which was bought by defense giant Raytheon today, got almost $11 million to help build self-configuring network technology that would identify traffic, let the network infrastructure prioritize it down to the end user, reallocate bandwidth between users or classes of users, and automatically make quality-of-service decisions.
The advanced network technology is being developed by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and will include support for features like 32 levels of network traffic prioritization that will let data with a higher priority will be handled more expeditiously than traffic with a lower priority."
Your post.
Early experiments using the STFU protocol showed that network traffic went to zero. While this had positive cost impact, for example because you could omit all those costly cables without further harm, it was finally concluded that data rates above zero had enough advantages to offset those costs.
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
Well, every manager knows that power point slides have always the highest priority. Fuck those missiles.

Someone else with no experience doing massive implementations of new infrastructure spouting off.
Consider me unimpressed.

if the US Gov gets any more czars this place is going to start looking like Russia before the soviet era, it could be a government plot to make post soviet Russia jealous.

Oh! You mean like marking P2P as "low priority" during peak usage hours...oh wait...
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
