If it's just IP with no resource guarantees and it gets busy, you will 
be late for dinner.

IP is a protocol, don't turn it into a religion.  It does a job and is 
quite good for a lot of things and will continue to be for quite a 
while.  Still, it's not the best at everything. If it were, 
corporations that need guaranteed performance and security wouldn't 
use SNA.  As they say, one size doesn't fit all.  How boring it would 
be if it did!
