    From the NANOG list comes the sad news of the
    passing of Dave Farber.

    His professional accomplishments and impact are almost endless, but
    often captured by one moniker: "grandfather of the Internet,"
    acknowledging the foundational contributions made by his many
    students at the University of California, Irvine; the University of
    Delaware; the University of Pennsylvania; and Carnegie Mellon
    University.
