  That's a very impressive video. It's interesting that they used ATM networking, which also showed promise but didn't really take off: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_Transfer_Mode https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_Transfer_Mode

    This[0] is one of my favorite articles ever, about the competition between IP and ATM in the 90s and the different mindsets they had. [0] https://www.wired.com/1996/10/atm-3/ https://www.wired.com/1996/10/atm-3/

    ATM was the baselevel for DSL for a long time. You'd usually run Ethernet over ATM, and often PPP over Ethernet (over ATM). If you carefully tweaked your MTUs, you could get a marginal latency benefit by fully packing the underlying fixed-length ATM packets.
