About the broader issue of the Internet II project, I have always suspected that the "retail" market (100 M households) and the R&E market (1000 largest R&E and industrial institutions) had incompatible network requirements. The consequence is that no infrastructure could be optimal for both. It would be a *good*thing* if the providers could develop two parallel infrastructures
The fiber infrastructure and the multiplexer infrastructure are good enough to support both Internet and Internet II. What the Internet lacks for Internet II today is IP tunnels with QoS. So I think that one IP infrastructure could be good enough for both and will be some day. This I believe. :-)
Internet II and the like are good things. No question! --MM--
If 100k university students, faculty and staff can demonstrate large scale personal videoconferencing, that would be a big win and a good market driver. BTW, is someone going to build traffic monitors and diagnostic tools into the Internet II infrastructure? Any new inter-domain routing protocols? Source demand routing? QoS? Or are the universities satisfied with just more bandwidth? --Kent - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
