Hey, Jeff, thanks for sending this on to us.
He also gives an awesome history on the evolution of networking to
bring this whole "dissemination based networking" into a clearer
context.
I'm trying to put together a curriculum for a 12 day class I may be
giving (unless I come up with a better idea for a class by May) on the
history of computers, and this definitely helped flesh out my
understanding of the history of networking and get a clear idea of
what the new problems in networking are and where we may be moving in
the future.
Thanks!
