IPX ruled the roost, very popularly, for a little while.  How long did it take 
to die?  Why did it die?  What were the triggers that pushed it over the cliff? 
 I think there's a lot to be learned from that piece of recent history.  
Specifically, as a demonstration of how a "most popular" protocol can find 
itself ejected from the arena in the blink of an eye.  I knew several people 
who built their career path on the assumptions of IPX.  Ouch.
