Michael Welzl: "Moving the Internet's Transport Layer Ahead", Guest Lecture, School of Engineering, University of Aberdeen.

The Internet's transport layer has been called "ossified", but we don't have to simply accept that and do the ostrich thing. Even ostriches don't really do it - according to Wikipedia, "Contrary to popular belief, Ostriches do not bury their heads in sand". After explaining some design faults that have contributed to ossification, I will give an overview of methods that could be implemented to conjointly achieve a real change.
