I hear enough from people who *do* work at Some Other Place. :) > Even when you think things should be the same, they sometimes have very > different problems to solve. Never claimed *our* solution would work everywhere (heck, I even admit it isn't 100% effective for *us*). A very large chunk of what *we* do would be doomed to failure at any organization where the problem set includes "make a profit selling connectivity to cost-conscious general consumers". I just often wish Vint's 140 million would switch to Some Other ISP where the traffic I see from them didn't cause operational issues for *my* organization. (And yes, that was carefully phrased - there's multiple solutions that work for customer and ISP *and* get them off my radar. But there's no *single* workable solution.) Attachment:
