To give Baree and other who didn't attend Minneapolis an idea, the main
hotel (Hilton) has hundreds of rooms and the IETF cost was $129 per night.
Surrounding the main hotel within a short walk are other hotels totalling

What is this Internet thing I keep hearing so much about?
Burstification is the opposite of smoothing -- making traffic more bursty. This might
be done artificially as part of a study on the impacts of traffic bustiness. Also,
many service mechanisms and protocol actions often tend to increase the burstiness in
an information flow.

Well, it sounds like it should mean "making something bursty";
