re: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2012k.html#5 Gordon Crovitz: Who Really Invented the Internet? slightly earlier http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers:_Heroes_of_the_Computer_Revolution led to this in silicon valley http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hackers_Conference then during the period of this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo%27s_Egg_%28book%29 the events were leaking into the press and cbs 60mins wants to do a segment on the conference (many of the whitehats attend the conference). there is couple month negotiation about 60mins not doing a "hack" job on the conference ... we are the good guys. Then they air the segment about secret group in santa cruz mountains plotting to take over the world. following year there is conference t-shirt http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/cbst.jpg other OSI trivia ... person responsible for UUCP ... see network counts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2012k.html#1 Gordon Crovitz: Who Really Invented the Internet? he moved to silicon valley in the 80s and was behind XTP. I finagle getting on the XTP technical advisory board over extreme objections from the communication group http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006i.html#email890901 other old xtp related email http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2009q.html#email881113 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002g.html#email890424 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007.html#email911004 an effort is made to take XTP to ANSI x3s3.3 for standarization as high-speed protocol ANSI x3s3.3 is ISO chartered standards group responsible for standards related to level 3&4 (in OSI model). ISO requires that standard work is only done for items that correspond to OSI model. Work on high-speed protocol is rejected because: 1) it supports internetworking protocol. internetworking protocol doesn't exist in OSI ... sitting in non-existant place between top of level 3 and bottom of level 4 2) it goes directly from transport to LAN/MAC interface bypassing level3/level4 interface 3) it supports LAN/MAC interface which doesn't exist in OSI approx. correspond to somewhere in the middle of level 3. the other observation from the period was that ISO doesn't require a implementation to have a standard (or event that the standard be implementable) ... compared to IETF (standards body for internet) requires two interoperable implementations to progress in the standards process. past posts mentioning xtp/hsp http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subnetwork.html#xtphsp -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
