TCP, of course, provides the abstraction of two connected queues: this eases the task of data transfer between applications on different machines without considering the details of the underlying network. article represents a revisionist history of network algorithmics from the lens of what I call confluences, which found a beautiful confluence between computer architecture and networking (Figure 3) that led to something Figure 4: Binary Search on Prefix Lengths as a Confluence. To illustrate measurement algorithmics as a confluence (Figure 8) between randomized algorithms and algorithmics, consider the following algorithm called Sampleand-Hold, which differs from standard sampling, as employed in say Cisco's NetFlow [1]. Confluences in networking are not new. More current confluences include Data Center Networks (High Performance Figure 9: Network Verification as a Confluence	./cache/work_5dikuxddera2tml4wb3ckd2zt4.pdf	./txt/work_5dikuxddera2tml4wb3ckd2zt4.txt
