This is not new. It has happened to inter-networking. Well that is why we call FTAM F...

It was a shock for people doing internet (which in 1990s based on us gov std will be obsoleted and all moved to iso/osi). Or in my job doing EDI. It is just crazy. We want to do us gov standard and world standard. But can’t.

Let us temporarily use this lousy Ethernet, to be obsolete internet ... can’t use sna we all know and decnet (iso ?) is too buggy.

At least this ftp, email, telnet seems work. It needs at least 2 working sample before the standard is a ietf paper. And you can at least download the paper to learn what is it.

Good luck we are in 1990s. We never did a migration from the temporary internetworking thing call internet to the grand great hall of iso/osi. Just hope health care do not repeat the same mistake. Only open available standard could work if you have more than 1 parties.
