True Franck, but my google video downloader tells me it will take more
than 2 days to complete below for a media story.

Van Jacobson's talk:

Today's research community congratulates itself for the success of the
internet and passionately argues whether circuits or datagrams are the One
True Way. Meanwhile the list of unsolved problems grows.

Security, mobility, ubiquitous computing, wireless, autonomous sensors,
content distribution, digital divide, third world infrastructure, etc., are
all poorly served by what's available from either the research community or
the marketplace. I'll use various strained analogies and contrived examples
to argue that network research is moribund because the only thing it knows
how to do is fill in the details of a conversation between two applications.
Today as in the 60s problems go unsolved due to our tunnel vision and not
because of their intrinsic difficulty. And now, like then, simply changing
our point of view may make many hard things easy.
