Re: So encrypt your traffic Exactly, it was "turned over" and basically bloomed from that. The government turns over a lot of technology and it is up to those that use it to do what they wish with it.
In this case, the internet, there is not a central "advisor" on this, nor should there be. The fathers of the internet have nothing to do with this problem, people do. Stop using the internet, your fu%$ing it up.
Really, the reason behind projects like Internet2 and others is to build a new "internet". A new set of standards everyone will agree to work with. Very hard to do since we cannot agree on anything (and we being everyone, every country, the world, cannot agree). BGP is easy to fix, that really is no concern.
The "fathers", if I remember correctly, did realize it would be abused. When they let the technology "go", basically made it public, it was not up to them to secure it. BGP was a protocol that came way after the "internet was invented", it was a dynamic protocol to allow efficient routing and link control. It works great. The people to "blame" if it must be are carriers and the people using BGP, they are not using it correctly. I do not even know who came up with BGP, I think Cisco but I may be wrong (at least BGP 3, 4 who ?) |
