The lost Van Jacobson paper that could save the Internet
One of my heroes has always been Van Jacobson. His 1988 paper on solving TCP congestion is an enjoyable read, with cross-discipline appeal. The history of all this is fascinating, such as congestio…

RSS Is Dying, and You Should Be Very Worried
