It doesn't have to be centralized. If you think of the cars as data packets and the roads as cat-6 cables, then you can see how redundancy and alternate routing can be built in.
- csours 9y agoYou'd want that protocol to be EXTREMELY collision resistant.
- Turing_Machine 9y agoRight. You don't get an automatic retry with cars.
- stevekemp 9y agoIndeed, and you would also want to avoid fragmentation of packets (cars).
- barrkel 9y agoI'd like guaranteed once delivery, personally. While I take your point, many of the system behaviours of IP networking rely on inferences from failure. Information gathering needs to be a bit more proactive and connected without it. Eg determining a jam shouldn't be a matter of noticing that cars sent through a particular area are getting stuck ("dropped") but something that can estimate viable throughput before triggering phase changes like jams.
