For example, some people design routers to "attract packets" like magnets. They design protocols for routers to tell other routers what packets to send them. Why on earth do people and companies want packets ? Processing packets costs time and money. Imagine a world where routers tell other routers what NOT to send them. Routers should be designed to "repel packets" and to quickly get rid of the ones they have. They should also be designed to send them as quickly as possible to the place they belong and not to some black-hole called a NAP so that people can puff out their chests about their NAP being bigger than the next NAP.
Has anyone nominated Jim for the Internet Kooks list, this year? I should think he ought to be an emeritus member. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
