Ring the Bells.

markgritter has passed his thesis defense!

This is where we note that "extremely pleased" and "surprised" are not the same thing.

Bravo!

Hooray! :)

[flewellyn.livejournal.com]

Woohoo!

What was the thesis?

[nycshelly.livejournal.com]

Great news.

[mechaieh.livejournal.com]

ROCK!

[redbird]

*applause*

[wilfulcait.livejournal.com]

What wonderful news!

[gwyneira.livejournal.com]

Hurrah!

That rocks!

So, do we have to call him Herr Doktor now?

"'Content Location with Name-Based Routing'

"Mark Gritter
Department of Computer Science
Stanford University

"Tuesday, November 29th, 8:30-9:30 AM
Gates 498
Refreshments served at 8:15 AM.

"Abstract:

"The Internet's continued growth has demonstrated the need for a
secure, scalable, reliable naming service. Today's Domain Name
Service is viewed as a second-class service, subordinate to
packet delivery, but naming is a necessary component of nearly
every Internet transaction. Even content distribution networks
which aim to provide high availability and performance rest upon
a naming infrastructure which is vulnerable to long delays,
failures, and attacks.

"Name-Based Routing performs name lookup hop by hop using the same
set of routers and network connections needed to connect to the
resource named. Instead of centralized name servers, Name-Based
Routing relies upon "content routers" which exchange naming
information in a manner similar to that in which BGP exchanges
address routing information.

"This thesis outlines the design and behavior of name-based routing.
It demonstrates that Name-Based Routing achieves near-optimal latency
for connection setup when accessing content and services over the
wide area. It shows that NBR eliminates off-path resources,
improving reliability by reducing network dependencies to the minimum
necessary for a given level of redundancy. It demonstrates how NBR
may be scalably implemented and deployed given the expected growth
of the Internet. Finally, the work demonstrates that NBR is resistant
to large-scale denial of service attacks."

You don't have to, but you certainly can.

Good for him!

[magentamn.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! I am in awe of people who get their PhD, since I didn't.

[apis-mellifera.livejournal.com]

Woohoo!

[supergee.livejournal.com]

Hooray!

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

Three cheers for a succesful thesis defense!

[pameladean]

Whoo-hoo! I never doubted for a moment, but to have it done! Done done done! Yay!

P.

[dd-b.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Not a surprise, once it got scheduled, but still very excellent.

[scottjames.livejournal.com]

Wooo hooo! Is there anything left besides the walk and the hood?

[brithistorian.livejournal.com]

Huzzah for Mark!

[flewellyn.livejournal.com]

Oooh, nifty...

Anything which improves upon the mass of cruft and bogosity that is DNS is a good thing, in my book. As well as getting rid of the need for centralized name servers.

I have a strange feeling VeriSign may not feel the same way, though...

[cadithial.livejournal.com]

Congrats :) When's the party? :P

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Yay! Congratulations to him!

[jenett]

Woo! Yay!

[loup_noir]

Woo hoo! Stanford no less! Congratulations to him, you and lh user="timprov">! I was support staff for albionwood during both of his master's degrees. It's a household project.

Quite a timely topic, too.

[markgritter.livejournal.com]

Very true. Although somebody still has to be in charge of avoiding name clashes. (There are ways to get around that, too, it's just not part of my thesis.)

[mkille.livejournal.com]

Yay!!!!!!!!!!

(And I did, in fact, just ring the bells. -The Bells of Dublin- by the Chieftains is on the 5-CD player at work, and it starts with church bells, so I switched over to it and cranked the volume. Woot!)

[juliansinger.livejournal.com]

Wooot! Huzzah for Dr. Gritter!

[kythiaranos.livejournal.com]

Hooray! *throws confetti*

[dsgood.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!!

[greykev.livejournal.com]

Yay, it's over!! And no one (that I know of) had to be threatened with bodily harm. Or if they did they knuckled under, which is also good.

[truepenny.livejournal.com]

Congratulations to Mark! And to you and Timprov also.

[roadnotes.livejournal.com]

Huzzah!

[jsgbits.livejournal.com]

Many congratulations!

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Uh, he already has the hood and will not be walking. He has to turn in the written stuff, though.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

When we have the energy to host it!

Um. That probably did not deserve an exclamation point.

[truepenny.livejournal.com]

Because, having been the thesis-writer in this scenario, I know exactly how difficult one of our breed is to live with, and how deeply relieved and joyful y'all are.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. We didn't go out celebrating without him, but we definitely look forward to celebrating with him.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

My mom and I did not dress up as ninjas, so we didn't resort to our backup plan.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Stanford no less, but also Stanford no more!

Veryvery pleased that this is over, in other words.

[ladysea.livejournal.com]

Hooray!!!!

*hugs* all around and a *ear scritch* to the puppy
