Uh, yeah. A large grain of salt. Without software, bandwidth
reservation is just silly. (Even with it, it's fairly easy to prove
that channelization always increases queue depths and waiting times.
Oh, well.)

In article <360905DD.EF01672D@mis.net> you write:

router#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
router(config)#dtm ?
% Unrecognized command
router(config)#ip dtm ?
% Unrecognized command
router(config)#^Z
router#

  'Nuff said. I like this quote:

   Karoop said the company could also do battle with the
   big fast-router set. "They could have success in the core
   routing space and compete with the likes of Argon
   [Networks Inc.], Avici [Systems Inc.] and Juniper
   [Networks Inc.]," he said. "Their value proposition is that
   they can provide better QOS than what's out there."

  I guess all the big providers are behind the times.
Evidently the core routing space is controlled by Argon,
Avici, and Juniper.

  No, I couldn't write that with a straight face. :slight_smile:

TIWAGOS?

Yeah, this stuff gets out of hand, but after staring at it longer than I
should: Take It With A Grain Of Salt

Take It With A Grain Of Salt

It's the new Internet Fad. The comm has chngd f/ lil abbrv lang 2 total
acronyms. Soon, inet comm will look like DNA strings (but with 22 more
letters to choose from), YKWIM? ;^)
