Retroactive Posting
Imho the IETF has punted and for good reason.
The IETF has given over the addressing and management to the ITU and the UN.
The result in the SIP space is peer to peer (free webinar today but that's not why I write) (see http://webinar.pulvermedia.com )
The Internet needs to be about the connection between end points. I say this as a bell head. As long as the IETF works in that direction the tension will always be there.
As long as I as a bell head need someone to use my network, they can bend my will. Of course I need to have competition. And from my perspective I do.
The minute the focus is away from the edge, as I think they have seen repeatedly problems arise. As long as the edge continues to innovate, my middleware models will constantly be behind. It maybe that one day the edge replaces the core entirely... It wont happen by being married to the core.
