Re: Nemertes Internet Infrastructure research 1) we expect demand for bandwidth to exceed the capacity of the access layers starting as early as 2010, with the result that user-experienced performance of Internet services will begin to degrade broadly and steadily UNLESS there is significant additional investment (to the tune of $55B in North America) in upgrading access edge infrastructure There will be additional investment. There always is. There's money to be made.we expect inherent weaknesses in the addressing and routing systems of the Internet to begin hurting Internet service performance starting around 2012, when the IPv4 address pool will be exhausted, and with address re-use, NAT, and the transition to IPv6 unable to resolve the infrastructural problems before performance is affected. Granted. IPv6 is a totally different issue from the "Exaflood" (TM).
You might want to mention to your colleague Johna Till Johnson that Nemertes would be taken more seriously if she didn't play hyperbolic chicken little over at Network World every few months. It's a little hard to view Nemertes as "scientists" dictated by facts, not politics, when Johnson's out there trying to terrify everyone into opposing network neutrality regulation.... |
