[discuss] Internet: the INTER-connection of local NET-works

[willi uebelherr]

Dear Nathalie,

with "microwave" it was a bad translation. I meant "directed radio", 
independent of the specific frequency spectrum and, of course, 
independent of the specific coding algorithms.

I am not a high frequency physicist. But, i think, now we are 8 billion 
people on the world. And if 1 promille of the people are willing to work 
for our technical systems and components then there are 8 million 
people. A very strong power.

Symmetric transport capacity

The transport systems need always to have in both direction the same 
capacity. Then all endnodes can decide to be also a server. Then all 
this nodes can communicate directly.

Datatypes

"... eliminate 'all types of instances'...".
This i don't understand completely. We have only text, graphic, speech. 
For our transport system it is not important. Only synchronous or 
asynchronous is important. We transport IP packets, header and data. No 
more. And we never look inside. The content can be any of this 3 types.

Georouting

It means, that the IP packet have his geografical destination in his 
destination address. And based of that we route. The routers today use 
the geografical information in the background. We use it in the foreground.

Geocasting is a IPv6 construct and very stupid. We never use any 
cast-extension. We use only uni-cast, if you want to speak in this 
terminology. But i never use this.

"When you refer to the regional network of regional centers and the 
global network of regional centers, are you referring to the Super IANA 
Jefsey was referring to? Are you aligned with Louis Pouzin's view of VGNs?"

Now you hit me on my left foot (it is a german symbolic). Never i had 
any connection to IANA or ICANN or anything else. And VGN (Virtual Geo 
Network)? JFC from FSP4Net he spoke about. But, i don't understand the 
idea and discussion for that. But the basic ideas from FSP4Net and 
similar groups i support.

I think, we have to create a totaly independent discussion about our 
data transport sytems. Without state or private companies. Only with the 
people.

For that, what we need. We don't need "Governance" organisations. 
NetMundial could be a good instrument. But they have no interest for 
that. They think, they have to act as team of the goverments with power. 
In the "Outcome" document you can see it.

"I believe we can solve Internet Governance through a better 
understanding of the technology of the Internet."

Yes, dear Nathalie, this is the most important task what we have to do. 
And not to look, what exist. First, we have to look, what we need and 
then, what exist.

many greetings, willi
Jinotepe, Nicaragua

Ted Rappaport (MIT) explained that you could use higher frequencies with very short cells to provide connectivity in urban environments because antenna gain would compensate for path and oxygen attenuation. But microwaves are limited to line of sight transmission and signal loss is inevitable in almost half of the time in the presence of humidity, trees, hills, etc.
