Hello Pruguy, > anyone have any idea why I never heard of akamai or sandpiper until > last week and now I don't go one day without hearing about them? ;-) You aren't following the best Internet news sources? ;-) I'm kidding ... but much of this is happening very quickly, and you almost have to be in the research and development circles to catch wind of some of these projects. There are other leading edge projects coming out of the woodwork in the areas of communications applications, and how to "scale the Internet" ... It's interesting, but the industry is really small when it comes to the high-caliber experts in distributed computer communications technologies. By following the proposed standards through the IETF ( ietf.org ) and other research projects ( nlanr.net ) and even the W3C ( w3.org ) you can see what companies are doing what development. Akamai came out of MIT ... Sandpiper out of basic caching technologies ... InterVu likewise. There are people studying the value of caches and proxies in networks ... and this is being turned into start-ups and products. This is the beginning of "object routing" ... and area that I am very interested in ... ;-) Scott C. Lemon
