Assuming this entire story is true (well, for that matter, even if it ISN’T true)…

This is all great, until the desk fan blows an empty carton onto the tube sealing machine, which causes the entire factory to go up in flames, destroying the business and livelihood of all of its employees.

This is much akin to a “smart” end-user “innovating” by putting a Linksys wireless access point at their desk, so they can work around the office on WiFi. Without the proper controls, this can lead to easy back-door entry points into corporate networks. Yes, the leaf-nodes can be smart, but they can also be ignorant of the larger picture…something which the engineers are usually acutely aware of.

And as for the network as a whole being a big, dumb machine, I have serious questions as to your expertise in this matter. If you’ve ever seen how a routing table is computed and maintained, or how networks are meshed together to ensure availability, speed, and accessibility, I think you’d change your mind VERY rapidly on how “dumb” they are.

I’m impressed, I have to say. Really not often do I encounter a weblog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the problem is something that not enough people are talking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled throughout this in my seek for something referring to this.

Don’t forget that there are (usually) TWO Ctrl keys on a keyboard. Use one or the other when appropriate.
