Frank, What we market to enterprises and add to the internet core are distinct issues. A small to medium size business does not employ large numbers of unix mavens to guard network security and adding intelligence to the campus or even campus core is a big plus. On big fast routers and switches at the 'core' of the internet you are more likely to be looking at control plane hardening and toolsets that allow the network to detect and deflect denial of service attacks. Its not likely that interfaces with OC-192's and OC-768's will be looking at the content of the packets. What you will see is instrumentation to inform Network Management, which will analyze sampled data and potentially inform human operators or dynamically reconfigure to respond to threats. So the core will look as it always has - but better :-) John

Hi Frank, Circuit = property Packet = payload Property owners try to maximize income per acre/[color] Individual freedom wants control Property owners want control People vote, machines don't The House of Representatives is for people, the Senate is for Property owners I dropped my subscription to BCR as it, like Data Communications [home of the ATM to the desk crowd], failed to keep up with technology. Eric Krapf and Richard Kuehn have a clew, David Passmore and Tom Nolle and the other circuit apologists do not. petere

Hi Frank, More to respond to 'the Internet way' - that was 20th century thinking. IP was a late 20th century construct, and is not connected to people and their Physical media in a timely way. In the 21st century, we network people, not endpoints. A new logical layer connecting applications with PHYs will be constructed. newamerica.net >>If service providers buy into the IIN vision, users can say goodbye to the familiar open Internet. Providers would be able to police and rate-shape different types of traffic, create differentiated services and deploy QOS to limit use of network resources and maximize their profitability. They could force use of their own applications and services (i.e., create walled gardens) rather than letting users choose among third-party solutions. Innovative uses of the network will be restricted. At least in the case of service provider networks, users may have an alternative. If sufficient broadband competition emerges?for example, fixed wireless as an alternative to the DSL/cable duopoly?users may be able to select a substitute with less restrictive policies and practices. << The 'familiar open Internet' never was. to AOL users and cable users, and the second 100 million Internet users. Users will buy and use devices that afford themselves control, and that is a consequence of Moore's law. petere
