[RRG] Re: Abstracted Networking APIs

[RJ Atkinson <rja@extremenetworks.com>]

All,

Stuart Cheshire (Apple) asked me to forward the URL below,
which has Quicktime audio along with synchronised viewgraphs,
for his talk about IPv6 at the IAB Plenary in Dublin.

I had missed the IAB Plenary, but I found his presentation
at the URL below interesting.

My only quibble with his examples is the sometime use
of explicit port numbers (e.g. "80") where I think we
really ought to be using abstract service names (e.g. "http")
instead.  At least some Java networking APIs don't use
either explicit IP addresses or port numbers.

Cheers,

Ran
