I do actually remember following its development, hate NAT, and of course feel constrained by the V4 32-bit address space. But V6 has its designs problems too and while over the years I’ve tried to use it, it has never been worth the hassl

That page does tell you Len Bosack founded XKL but IIRC (that was long ago!) it was Cisco’s original plan to make a PDP-10 clone, and they sold SUNET routers to fund the work. It was a rather successful pivot to make the routers the main

The KA-10 had core memory (except for the instruction counter and locations 0-15 which were general purpose registers which were implemented in DTL). So when the power went out you could just restart, except for the running process. Bad ne

There is plenty of new learning to be had. For example the heliosphere may be larger than expected. By now it’s expected that voyager 1 ‘s trajectory” should be affected by the interstellar “current” of particles (well, the resulting B fie
