1. The UNIX pc...@t--n@T--.NET Architecture is Not for Everyone - No Problem
2. A user at a PC sees "Services" and they are a long way from the core .NET 3. The c...@t & n...@t Network Elements can be upgraded, that is designed in without Truck Rolls. 4. In circa 2010 it is interesting to note that people claim n...@t was added "to prolong the life of IPv4", that is NOT TRUE in UNIX (00) Culture. 5. c...@t was ripped off and re-marketed as a J-Thing & then got caught in browser wars but the Function remains, as the second firewall. 6. c...@t Services may appear to be "Routing" - Example: DHT Distributed Hash Tables with 480-bit Keys derive those bits from 160x3 or 160+320. 7. Three IP Headers, each with 160 bits, can be used to derive a DHT Key for the put(Key,Data,Time) Service. 8. In an object-oriented system hunks of bits (like 160) tend to become common like an 8-bit byte (or octet). 9. Architecture tends to require some sizing and sometimes one has to choose a size to move forward, 480-bits is a big address space. 10. It is ironic that 480-bits is large but a 6-bit Alphabet or ICON space turns out to be "good enough" with 64 symbols. 11. It is handy that 480-bits divided by 6 is 80 characters which is a nice size Key for the DHT. 12. The FREE 64-bit addressing using 12+18+6+24+4 can be coded using 6-bit symbols such as: LL.LLL.L.LLLL.X 13. People that "own" a 4-Letter .COM domain in the US may end up using US.COM.L.[domain].X. 14. Can the FREE 64-bit addressing be used in 320-bit Headers ? Sure, and there is room for up to 16 bytes of data also in the unused 128-bit Address Field bits. VOIP sounds make those re-purposed bits appear to change.
