Hey, The explanation for IL's deprecation is originally from the Plan 9 fourth release notes [1]:
> We are phasing out the IL protocol since it doesn’t handle long-distance > connections well (and long-distance networks don’t handle it well, either). Does anyone know what it is about IL's design that means it doesn't handle long-distance connections well? [1]: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/release4.html Thanks, cls
