Sally will be greatly missed, for sure... I was fortunate to have worked with her on the network simulator NS-2 team (VINT project) and met her several times at USC, ISI and at UC Berkeley (and many times in online conferencing, using the Mbone tools!), what a wonderful person she is, so calm and soft-spoken. She helped implement TCP and RED in NS-2, along with Van Jacobson, Lee Breslau, Steve McCanne and other established team members! She also worked with Vern Paxon on Internet traffic characterization, ... a work that was highly impactful and was integrated later into NS-2. She also gave her insightful feedback and input to PIM-SM and the multicast project that I worked on with Deborah Estrin and several other very esteemed researchers. There is so much more to her life that cannot fit here. I learned a lot from her publications, and from her personally when we had the opportunity to interact.
She is inspiring and will remain so. Her contributions will last long after her passing for sure!
