infrastructure

[Mikael Abrahamsson <swmike@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I would like to see more money spent on technical work that would make the 
Internet generally work better.
Work in the areas of AQM (bufferbloat), IP/WIFI interaction (how to make 
wifi work better for IP networks) would be nice to continue. People like 
Dave Täht and Jim Gettys know who would benefit from getting funded.
Work to make hardware get more free to put FOSS on, not less. Latest FCC 
initiative to lock down radio device firmware to assure regulative 
compliance isn't helping FOSS, it's harming it.
Measurement, we need to understand how the Internet actually works and 
behaves, to be able to make it better. We need to measure BCP38 compliance 
(antispoofing) in order to get more eyes on the problem, which is the root 
of the DDoS problem we see increasing. Less spoofing means less reflection 
attacks. UDP is being destroyed by DDoS because of reflection attacks 
enabled by spoofing.
