I hope this is acceptable to post here...

I just finished the book "Patterns in Network Architecture: A Return to Fundamentals" by John Day and was going through the 'Documents and Publications' section of pouzinsociety.org where I found this: "A Challenge for Researchers" - http://02d7097.netsolhost.com/images/A_Challenge_for_Researchers.pdf

Knowing there is a researcher or two on this list ;-) I wanted to forward it onto the group. To me (an operator interested in the architecture of the internet and its future, not a researcher) it's a very interesting idea!


Hi Scott,

This came around back in April and I asked:

http://www.irtf.org/mail-archive/web/rrg/current/msg04922.html

If anyone offers an answer, I'll take another look. Until then, John
has a vaguely interesting idea but we have no shortage of vaguely
interesting ideas here

I would agree with that statement :-)

and it's not our role to show whether or why an
incomplete concept can't be completed.

I just replied Steve privately suggesting that the architecture list may be a good place to send this pointer to. My reason: the starting point and the basic reasoning of that short (and very interesting) article is not IPC, but a basic understanding of how to do system research (great subject for a broader discussion).

Lixia
