Sigh. On page 12 of the March 20 InfoWorld, there is Yet Another report of
the Imminent Death of TCP/IP by Mark Stephens. Some of the more laughable
gaffes:
o TCP is required to check for errors, which makes the protocol "not
especially fast".
o "TCP/IP that lacks Telnet, FTP and SMTP is not TCP/IP."
o "Don't fault the architects of TCP/IP, who couldn't know there would be
millions of IP addresses in use today, but their choice of a 32-bit
address means that we are running out of addresses."
