Subject: [ih] Sally Floyd has died<br>
<br>
Just saw a post from Eddie Kohler that Sally Floyd has died.<br>
<br>
She packed a huge number of achievements into a relatively short career in<br>
networking (less than 20 years from PhD to retirement). She developed RED<br>
for congestion control with Van Jacobson, identified the issues in Poisson<br>
modeling with Vern Paxson, developed TCP SACK, to name a few of her<br>
important contributions. At one point (and perhaps still) she was one of<br>
the top 10 cited women in computing. I think she won almost every award<br>
the communications field could give.<br>
<br>
She was also a great colleague. I got to work somewhat closely with her on<br>
the End-to-End Task Force for many years. She had a knack for presenting<br>
stunning insights quietly and articulately, which made the insights all the<br>
more stunning.<br>
<br>
Our world is a bit smaller.<br>
<br>

My email server only sends and accepts starttls encrypted mail in transit.<br>
One benefit - it stops all spams thus far, cold. If you are not encrypting<br>
by default you are not going to get my mail or I, yours.<br>
