replace TCP/IP?

[jes]

TCP/IP is a great protocol. So robust and tolerant and independant of any software or hardware vendor so it works with anything.

The TCP/IP tools (like ping) are so usefull, but on the other hand, TCP/IP isn't really secure because things like telnet will allow access to other people computers.

Is it likely that TCP/IP will ever be replaced as the Internet protocol?

No. :)

I mean, TCP/IP is really a suite of protocol and some of them are being replaced slowly over time. But on the whole, I don't think TCP/IP is going anywhere. --c
