#van jacobson

Van Jacobson...made the internet possible back in the 70s and 80s with his tcp flow-control algorithms and header compression techniques. I first learned about him when working with dial-up modems, PPP and building RADIUS servers at some ISPs in the late 90s.

Example 10-3. RADIUS configuration for direct connect accounts Anna Password = UNIX-PW Service-Type = Framed, Framed-Protocol = PPP, Framed-IP-Address = 255.255.255.254, Framed-IP-Netmask = 255.255.255.0, Framed-Routing = None, Framed-MTU = 1500, Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobson-TCP-Header

Now he’s onto some next level stuff at PARC...and i love it.  clear 45min in your day to watch the first video of his talk.  This will be the future of the internet and networking architecture.  if this is embraced with the same openness of the original networking specifications, it will go far and profoundly change the internet experience forever.  i only hope corporate interests and greed don't get in the way.
