This blog will be mainly focused on my own experiences with computers and software. Both I am using now purely as a user and hobbyist. Also I comment on interesting news about ICT, privacy and combinations of both. In deze blog zal het voornamelijk gaan over ervaringen met computers en software waar ik tegenwoordig alleen nog hobbymatig mee bezig ben en mijn commentaar op imo interessante nieuwsberichten op het gebied van ICT, privacy en de combinatie van beide.

Van Jacobson Denies Averting Internet Meltdown in 1980s

Wired.com reports about Van Jacobson who recently earned a spot in the inaugural class of the Internet Society’s (ISOC) Internet Hall of Fame, alongside such as names as Vint Cerf, Steve Crocker, and Tim Berners-Lee.
Back in 1985 Van Jacobson managed to speed up the TCP/IP protocol by implementing Slowstart. Which makes the protocol a lot more efficient then it was those days. He himself denies that he averted a Internet meltdown then because the protocol did work at that time albeit much slower.
