NEW YORK, July 29 /PRNewswire/ --

- Vint Cerf and Larry Roberts Talk About Fixing the Internet Traffic Jam

TechWeb's Internet Evolution, a Web 2.0 site dedicated to investigating
the future of the Internet, has gone back to the Internet's co-founders in
search of answers about the looming crisis in Web congestion.

The site today published blogs by two of the scientists who helped create
the Internet -- Vinton G. Cerf, co-author of TCP/IP, and Lawrence G. Roberts,
whose work on packet switching laid the groundwork for the modern Internet.

Internet Evolution asked both men to discuss the requirements for saving
the network they helped create. Web traffic has reached unprecedented levels,
and ISPs are throttling data flows in an effort to compensate for the
bandwidth consumed by video transmission. What will assure the Internet's
future, while preserving network neutrality and fair and open access for all
customers?

Cerf and Roberts answer separately from their perspectives as technology
insiders. "It's a back-to-the-future exercise," said Internet Evolution
Editor in Chief Terry Sweeney. "Who can better comment on what's needed to
guarantee the Internet's ongoing viability than the scientists who helped
create the network and its protocols? Internet Evolution is privileged and
proud to offer a moderated blogosphere where experts and visionaries like
Drs. Cerf and Roberts can share their opinions and challenge the conventional
wisdom about where the Internet is headed."
