The Internet is moving out of cyberspace and into smart space.
"Leonard Kleinrock" is an United States/American engineer and computer scientist. A computer science professor at UCLA's Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, he made several important contributions to the field of computer networking, in particular to the theoretical foundations of computer networking. He played an influential role in the development of the ARPANET, the precursor to the Internet, at UCLA.
His most well-known and significant work is his early work on queueing theory, which has applications in many fields, among them as a key mathematical background to packet switching, one of the basic technologies of the Internet. His initial contribution to this field was his doctoral thesis at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1962, published in book form in 1964; he later published several of the standard works on the subject. He described this work as:
"Basically, what I did for my PhD research in 1961–1962 was to establish a mathematical theory of packet networks..."
His theoretical work on hierarchical routing in the late 1970s with student Farouk Kamoun, is now critical to the operation of today's worldwide Internet.
More Leonard Kleinrock on Wikipedia.There are some things that can't be controlled.
The culture of the original Internet was one of trust.
I think the bottom line is that no one is in a position to close down the Internet.
Everyone seems to think that the D.N.S. system is a big deal, but it's not the heartbeat of the Internet. Who controls the flow of the ocean? Nobody controls it, and it works just fine. There are some things that can't be controlled and should be left distributed.
