Daniel J. Bernstein Quotes

The routers get involved in this and they know that on the path between this router and that router a certain percentage of the bandwidth is reserved to these things and a certain percentage of it is allowed on a first come first served basis.

Unlike the phone system, which is engineered around an application, the Internet layered model allows you to, in essence, separate applications from infrastructure.

The need for mission-critical, high-performance network continues to grow as companies and public sector organizations everywhere digitize their operations.

The Internet works thanks to loose but trusted connections among its many constituent parts, with easy entry and exit for new Internet service providers or new forms of expanding access.

The Domain Name Server (DNS) is the Achilles heel of the Web. The important thing is that it's managed responsibly.

Having run Tellme before, one of the things I learned about running a big network is it's one thing to have some people not be able to get on the way they want to get on, but as long as people who are on the network are having a good experience, you're totally cool.

Older generations of Wi-Fi weren't quite robust enough to deliver video in the home without breaking up and losing packets and so forth. 5G Wi-Fi gives you extended reach, extended data rates, and more robust coverage.

Any time you build a network, you have to help users find their friends.

I want to own a network. I want to own a network where you can turn it on with your family all day long and get positive reinforcement.

I started in time-sharing and networking with packet switching, which was the precursor to what became the Internet. Time-shared use on packet-switch networks, when you think about it, is the cloud.

There's nothing special about wireless networks except that wireless capacity is sometimes less than what you can get, for example, from optical fiber.

So as I look at transitioning to the communication platforms of the future, I see that the beauty of Internet protocols is you get the separation of the layers between service and technology.

What makes a great standalone piece of hardware is not the same thing as what makes a great networking device. One can work as an essentially closed system. The other is absolutely dependent on its openness.

The big deal about the Internet design was you could have an arbitrary large number of networks so that they would all work together.

The Internet was developed in large part by U.S. government research funding to develop new communications networks, starting with a network created by the Department of Defense.

Network operators need reasonable leeway to manage their networks.

A worldwide web of electronic connections now moves data at ever-increasing speed and volume along what we call the information superhighway.

For the user, it doesn't matter whether he is getting access on Wi-Fi, 3G or 2G networks. What matters is good connectivity, and as a technology provider, our job is to hide the complexity of the technology.

The availability of reliable and redundant communications is critical for our public safety.

We think that 5G will likely last longer and be deeper than first thought.

I used to be a pretty hard-core iPhone fan. But over time, I grew more and more frustrated with the lousy service on AT&T. My iPhone simply could not reliably make and hold a phone call. Not just in New York and San Francisco, where I spend a lot of time, and where AT&T's service has been notoriously bad for years.

We know businesses can't compete without reliable infrastructure.

We don't know which use cases will ultimately be the most important for 5G, but we know that early adopters tend to get a sustainable advantage.

You cannot prevent collisions if the data that can prevent them is still making its way through the network.

I'm a big believer in using the best IP for a given application.
