TCP implementations will follow a general principle of robustness: be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others.

One way to get high speed to the home is over cable systems.

That was clearly surprising, interesting - a very interesting milestone was when you can pick up a magazine and read an article about some sort of computer related thing and they mention the word internet without explaining it.

In general, an implementation must be conservative in its sending behavior, and liberal in its receiving behavior.

But as soon as we got that higher speed access to the home there?s going to be a tremendous crunch on the backbones for a much higher speed bandwidth. People really ought to be planning for that.

A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how we get there.

Everyone should have ten megabits and then the web will be a wonderful thing.
