Thats a great deal more reasonable. OS12 can be achieved in a number
of ways all within the current technology as it will exist in 2
years. One can run convertional protocols over it and utiilize
hardware that is a reasonable extentions of the current gateway
technologies (for example Paris II).
The break comes somewhere , in my opinion, between 600 and a gigabit
and that will take both the research of the "kahn/farber" NSF/Darpa
research initiative and other activities PLUS additional federal
stimulation to get that understanding into operational technology as
is invisioned in the NREN proposals and the NAS report "Toward a
National Research Initiative"..
Again if I can help , please ask.
Dave

I had a lengthy conversation with Al Weis last night. Al says he was
misquoted. He says OS12 within 2 years (644 megs per sec?). was
emphatic that to break one gigabit in any meaningful way would take
federal seed money.
