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?

Thanks,
cls
