[ga] DARPA wants military to replace TCP/IP with new "Military Network Protocol"

[Joe Baptista <baptista@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The famous Pentagon crazy-ideas bureau, DARPA, wants to reinvent the
internet and make it more suitable for military use. Lockheed which won the
$31m contract will be partnered with Anagran, Juniper Networks, LGS
Innovations, Stanford University and - of course - Microsoft. The main
thrust of the effort will be to develop a new Military Network Protocol,
which will differ from old TCP/IP in that it will offer "improved security,
dynamic bandwidth allocation, and policy-based prioritization levels at the
individual and unit level". Sounds a bit like IPv6 to me.

all know what happened last time DARPA tried this. We got the Internet. And
the hot patato called ICANN.
