I think you're missing about 4 layers of the OSI stack.
- ctdonath 13y agoPardon my lack of encyclopedic thoroughness in a casual discussion.
- Locke1689 13y agoAnd I think you're significantly underplaying the technical and financial challenges associated with scaling up a mesh network.
- ctdonath 13y agoI've watched networking scale from spending 9 hours downloading a book over 110bps (yes, that's one hundred ten bits per second) dialup as an amazing ability, to streaming multiple live HD video from anywhere to wireless devices at 17Mbps (contrast seventeen million bits per second) as a cultural norm. I do not doubt the ability to solve technical and financial challenges associated with scaling up an ad-hoc network. Been there, done that, can do it again.
