Folks,
Just thought I'd alert you all to the danger of running
into me in the hallways and getting buttonholed on this
wonderful, new kind of sliced bread - after all, what's a
more dangerous marketing type than the nutty inventor!)
The approach has been judged one of the best papers at
the IEEE 1st ECUMN conference and a fuller paper is to be
published in the Annals of Telecommunications. The conf.
paper and presentation (pdf,ps) are temporarily hosted at
http://affine.watson.ibm.com/tmp/
That said, I should admit I'm no expert and need lots of
comments and advice!
Yes, really, I came here with the express purpose and
mandate to lobby for a rearchitecture of the Internet.
Some have already pointed to me a certain similarity to
the TRIAD project of David Cheritan - the TRIAD is very
similar to what I had initially proposed (within IBM)
in '96-'97, and I would like to clarify that the present
proposal is a lot more drastic! I hope to convince
enough people to get a bof or a wg going, could you
please help?
thanks,
-p.
