Hi Peter, I'll see the network-as-IPC approach and counter with the Goat Entrails Routing Protocol, or GERP. The operating principle behind GERP is that for each packet, you pay a mystic to butcher a goat, read the entrails and then tell you which link to send the packet down. I worry that GERP might not scale well, constrained as it is by the number of available goats. Okay, so I'm being harsh, bordering on cruel. Here's the deal: the last time I looked at John Day's work, it was so much gobbledygook. Abstruse material ineptly presented? Or actual gibberish? I still don't know but a 10 minute perusal of that web site didn't get me any closer to a credible explanation of how the router in the middle of the complex network, far from either of the endpoints, is supposed to select which of its links is in the direction of the eventual receiver. Slide 14 of http://rina.tssg.org/docs/CAMAD-slides.pdf implies the construction of a stateful pathways between every pair of communicating applications. Circuit switching that supports packet flows instead of bit rates? That's ridiculous on its face. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
