The following was written by one of my clients who is involved in a project to specify the architecture of his organization's data communications network for then upcoming decade or so. I am the very model of a modern network architect, I've information presentation, transport, session, Oh See Net, I know about the X.400, X.500 Standard set, I am the very model of a modern network architect. I carry all the data via integrated LAN and WAN, With gateways, bridges, routers I can form a Global Network plan, And clients talk to all their servers end-to-end with seamless ease, Assisted by creative use of APIs and RPCs. Protection of the network I achieve with great security, Through DES authentication I can send a message tamper-free, I verify the user with a cryptographic public key. And access to an object must be gained from my directory. I run the system from an integrated single-window view, And manage all financial transfers with a store-and-forward queue. In short, the many network layers I apply to great effect, I am the very model of a modern network architect.
