Trickle Down: Späte Lehren aus dem Golfkrieg 
 
Nun melden sie sich wieder zu Wort, die Erfinder des  
Internet, die 1968 vier dicke Rechner zur effizienteren  
Berechnung der Ballistik von Interkontinentalraketen vernetzt  
hatten.  Heutzutag bietet die von der ARPA zu DARPA  
gewandelte Pentagon/division  der zivilen Welt das Knowhow  
an, mit verstopften Netzwerken effizient fertigzuwerden,  als  
spätes Trickle Down der Erfahrungen mit dem  
Datenwahnsinn des Golfkriegs.

14 Dec 1998 DARPA the US Department of Defense's  
Advanced Research Agency is working on a technology that  
could change in which^network congestion problems are  
handled. 
 
The agency is gathering a team of researchers from several  
organizations to create a technology called Active Networks  
that would give data packets the intelligence to more  
efficiently direct themselves though a network - and not rely  
on network hardware to do the job.  
 
Observers said the technologies under development for Active  
Networks may be critical for taking advantage of rapidly  
expanding network bandwidth.  
.... 
This week, the Defense Department will announce that  
Network Associates has been granted contracts to develop  
secure working prototypes for Active Networks, to help  
develop a new software base for Active Network nodes, called  
Active Node Transfer, and to develop new cryptographic  
techniques to protect the packets and routers from attack. 
 
 
  The company is also developing an adaptive cryptographic  
scheme for NGI that will alternate among security algorithms  
based on current risk and need for high-speed performance.  
The need for system security will be critical, according to  
DARPA. ;You're using the resources of the infrastructure in  
order to do the processing, said Hilarie Orman, program  
manager of the information technology office at DARPA. 
.... 
  You need to protect the Active [Networks] router itself  
against denial-of-service attacks and to protect against one  
program taking over the entire router. One large Internet  
service provider, GTE's BBN division, has a team helping to  
develop Active Networks technologies.  Carriers are also  
contributing to the NGI, with partner companies having  
received contracts to build pieces of the infrastructure.  
Network Associates plans to present several proof-of-concept  
demonstrations to DARPA and its development partners by  
April, Network Associates said.  The actual implementation  
of such technology will occur throughout several years.
