My memory for that meeting totally faded away, other than the weather was gorgeous (compared to Boson;) I got into networking in 1981, I recall a number of other Internet meetings before this one but I guess they left no traces... it is great that people spent serious effort to keep IETF history. Lixia PS: about that "subtle change away from pure datagram" comment: it's amusing how little we/I understood the issue of keeping state inside network at the time. _______________________________________________ aqm mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/aqm
