Hi, Mike,
If we could morph it into a signup system that distributed people
according to restauant capacity and avoided the problem that someone
says "I hear there's a burrito place on X street" and a herd of 300
IETFers shows up there, since they don't know any other places to go,
then you'd really have something.
I'm afraid it's beyond IETF's expertise to come up with
distributed burrito processing protocols.
Mike
If you think about this for a minute, you would realize that (1) we not
only have protocols for this, but we have running code, and (2) "too much
focus on distributed burrito processing" might explain a lot about where
we are and how we got here! :-)
Thanks,
Spencer, who is wondering what a "dining protocol designers" multitasking
algorithm might look like, with a burrito between every pair of protocol
designers (with apologies to the dining philosophers)
Ah, but this is not that big a problem, because unlike forks, burritos are
dual-ported.
