    Does anyone else have the thought that maybe it’s time to just replace these 30+ year old ancient protocols? Seems like the entire networking stack is held together with string and duct tape and unnecessarily complicated.

    A lot of the decisions made sense somewhat in the 80s and 90s, but seems ridiculous in this day and age lmao

      Wait till you hear about when ipv6 was first introduced (90s) and how 50% of the internet still doesn’t work with it.

      Businesses don’t want to change shit that “works” so you still have stuff like the original KAME project code floating around from the 90s.
