General observation: If development of Internet had been constrained by
existing CPU resources in the past, it would not have grown to its current
level of importance throughout the world.

My reading of the requirements document is it does not concern itself with
"CPU resources." The word "CPU" or any related concept is not in the text,
AFAIK.
