I disagree. Except for the early days, spammers have been little more than a low volume nuisance on Mix. What killed mix was it's complexity

Take away complexity, and Mix *could* flourish - in spite of the fedz.
I agree, with the additional constraint that mix functionality piggyback with a more popular feature. Most folks won't install even the most benign, easy to use mixer; but include a mix server in a jazzy IM or next-gen napster program, and you get deployed.

The major advantage of massive rollout is speedy traffic remixing on the local loop, which requires a high occupation density in address space. The advantages are ~realtime, reliable traffic remixing.

Completely provider dependent. For instance, I have SWB DSL as my work provider, and (AFAICT) am free to use whatever I want. My home cable connection prohibits any standard form of traceroute, but allows pings and UDP... Move across town, and everything changes. -- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org 0xBD4A95BF Civilization is in a tailspin - everything is backwards, everything is upside down- doctors destroy health, psychiatrists destroy minds, lawyers destroy justice, the major media destroy information, governments destroy freedom and religions destroy spirituality - yet it is claimed to be healthy, just, informed, free and spiritual. We live in a social system whose community, wealth, love and life is derived from alienation, poverty, self-hate and medical murder - yet we tell ourselves that it is biologically and ecologically sustainable.
