What? Slow-downs? Site unavailability? I'm not aware of these? People have been trying to improve the Internet for 10 years. This is nothing new. In 1996, many "experts" predicted it would simply not function at 50% of today's traffic levels... much less where we are now.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Intel Corp. (Nasdaq:INTC - news) on Thursday outlined its vision of the Internet of the future, one in which millions of computer servers would analyze and direct network traffic to make the Web safer and more efficient.
Intel plans to play a major part in developing a new Web infrastructure based on computer servers running on its chips.
The current Internet, based on technology developed in the 1970s, will begin to buckle under the weight of millions of new computer users from developing nations, Chief Technology Officer Patrick Gelsinger said at a company-sponsored technical conference.
"We're running up on some architectural limitations," Gelsinger said.

Well aren't we already immproving the internet? With Internet2? More ip allocations, more efficient architechure or something or other, sending less packets int he headers, etc...
I dont know how that works becaue i thought that if you have more ip allocations, then that means the headers would have to be bigger... so increasing traffic...

I just think this is another way of Intel trying to make money. The Internet works pretty damn well for me and I would like to see an improvement, but not one where intel benefits directly.
