[edit] Karn v. US lawsuit

Something should be added to this article about the Karn v. US lawsuit about exporting the floppy discs of the code from the first edition of Applied Cryptography. Although that suit petered out somewhere along the way, it was instrumental (along with Bernstein v. United States) in getting US cryptographic export controls relaxed.

[edit] RFCs

I think the Kahn for round trip time is a different person... Also listing some of the RFC's might be good... .Like RFC1313. He was also a board member of TAPR. Vk2tds 23:40, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Nope, same guy. The reason he was so concerned about calculating the proper round trip time is that amateur radio TCP/IP communications can have greatly varying round trip times depending on congestion. RussNelson 16:59, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
