I completely agree. This general got fed some bad info, or his tech really sucks in networking. If you get rid of the layers in the stack, then you lose its dynamic ability. It sounds like he has some problems with their email or messaging system, and he wants to rewrite the entire IP protocol. I'd vote for rewriting SMTP, but there is nothing wrong with IP. I think the general just needs to get a systems guy who's a little knowledgable in whats out there today.
