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
