Just like X.25, Frame Relay(remember the Gang of Four??), and ATM? Give me a Break!!! I hate it when engineers with no hands-on practical experience get in the way of progress! Where have you been the last 100 years? If the individual vendors did not push the technology window, it would never get done! Period! It was'nt the educational powers at hand that did it, it was the REAL ENGINEERS building previous technologies who knew the limitations, and how to correct them with new ideas.
Do you think that Cisco/Stratacom/Digital/Northern-Telecomm were going to wait around for ANSI and the ITU-T to decide on a standard for Frame Relay you are nuts! They did it on thier own and created an industry standard, that later would be accepted world wide as the Gang-Of-Four LMI spec. It's still here today and ALL vendors support it. ANSI/ITU-T did agree on a standard some years later, but guess what!, 90% of GoF LMI was impemented in thier standards! Hell, the standards bodies still have'nt aggreed on an implementable sololution for SVCs in Frame Relay!

Right! I won't even comment on this silliness.
