Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) が新しいNetwork
Protocpl: Military Network Protocolの研究開発先を決定しました：

"Lockheed Martin Awarded $31M Research Contract To Develop Cyber
 Information Assurance For Military Networks", October 15th, 2009
  http://www.lockheedmartin.com/news/press_releases/2009/101509-CyberInfoAssurance.html

"Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded to
 Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT]. Under the workscope of this $31 million
 Military Network Protocol contract, Lockheed Martin team will
 develop new cyber assurance procedures to improve security,
 dynamic bandwidth allocation, and policy-based prioritization
 levels at the individual and unit level.



"Lockheed Martin is teamed with Anagran, Juniper Networks,
 LGS Innovations, and Microsoft to develop the new Military
 Network Protocol. Stanford University will also support the
 development effort."

1.1 PROGRAM OVERVIEW
"The Military Networking Protocol (MNP) program will develop a network
 prioritization system with full user-level attribution for military
 computer networks. The protocols, techniques, and devices developed
 in the program will de-anonymize network data flows for those computers
 and network enclaves using MNP technology."
"The de-anonymized MNP traffic will be compatible with and transit
 existing Internet infrastructure carrying legacy Internet traffic.
 MNP-enabled networks may allow or deny entry or transit by
 unauthenticated data flows, and will transmit data as fast as (or
 faster than) existing legacy network protocols."

"It is envisioned that the MNP program will be a three phase program."

1.2 DETAILED DISCUSSION
"There are two key technological developments in the recent past that
 DARPA believes may be used to allow the MNP program to be successful."
"1) flow-based techniques developed in previous DARPA programs"
"2) software or Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based routers."
ASCIには否定的です。
