Side streets and easements are cicso machinery that come off the backbone. There are major internet traffic highways, last I heard like 17 major hubs, then thousands of pieces of Cisco hardware off of that.
The surface streets would be things like LANS and WANS.
You have to know how the internet was designed. It was designed to be a communication network that could survive a nuclear strike. If a major internet highway or hub was down (or vaporized) the routing would still be possible through lower levels of routers.
Internet Exchange Points. The communications traffic on the Internet backbone is exchanged at large Internet Exchange Points (IXP), sometimes called Network Access Points (NAP) or Metropolitan Area Exchanges (MAE), constituting the top level of the Internet network topology. The first five large NAP's in North America were established in the 1990's in Chicago, New Jersey, San Francisco, San Jose, and Washington, D.C. The following sites maintain current indexes of IXPs, many of which provide statistics and graphs of the performance of their major nodes:
Great info-thanks
So if I want to start up a web site called Islam is the problem .com then no problem right? wrong.
I like your analogy. And there’s so much redundancy in the telecom network that any one bottleneck is solved by automatic routing of traffic around it.
And we’re not forced to go down low bandwidth “side streets”. Huge capacity is available for high speed communications under the sea, by satellite, and fiber.
The danger of relinquishing control of the Internet is that incrementalism you suggested. In fact, the globalists will probably try to bypass the U.S. as much as they can as punishment for being a sovereign nation, not part of the New World Order and Commission run by bureaucrats and supported by Soros, Buffet, and that ilk.
ICANN is the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. While I disagree with ceding control, it’s much ado about nothing. They literally manage the assignment of internet addresses and DNS. The worst that will happen with this is that it’s likely we’ll see a substantial uptick in spam since foreign entities will likely buy up tracts of American IP addresses to spam from the comfort of their own borders.
If it is “nothing” why are companies like Google and Facebook spending money to get this done? Do you think Google and Facebook have our interests at heart? Fact is you can’t predict the future. While ICANN may be benign now that might not be the case in the future.
This is Obamacare all over again, IMO. This is all about breaking the current system for leftists. The proggies are playing the long game here. Don’t give them a free pass.
20+ years in IT and several industry certifications disagree with your assessment, but if you have something to rebut my claims, please feel free to opine.
Rebut your claims? We’ll that’s easy: If you like you doctor, you can keep your doctor. Take nothing the Obama admin says at face value.
Yeah amazing how they trust Obama and the UN since they’ve been working on this takeover for many years
Thank you for your explanation. I’m no IT person and this is your area of expertise. Now, let me ask since this is your field. You’ve discussed the main structure, which in itself is huge. However, I suppose my concern is in data collecting and suspending of service. How would this new ‘take over’ use their central power to cause disruptions?
TPP
The disruptions possible would be minor at best.
Example: If the powers-that-be decided to remove Free Republic from the name servers, we would be reduced to using number-based urls.
No more www.freerepublic.com, but something numeric instead.
At worst, an inconvenience.
Interesting. Thank you.
How would we get the word out if suddenly the urls were gone?
Better question is why did they get re-elected? Answer that and you will know why.
Strange that you would not remember the difficulty we had logging into FreeRepublic unless we knew the physical address a while back. Those little problems could become standard and you know it.
Free Republic’s facebook site.
But it’s very unlikely to go down like that.
Sure everyone has a ham radio and they are so easy to use much easier than point and click on a phone.
Actually, if I am not mistaken, we could use alternative DNS servers, and I guarentee you that those would spring up.
Uh the Republicans control both houses.
A lot of Doctors and insurance companies agreed we could keep our doctor too.
I hope you’re right.
I hope we don’t have to find out if you’re right.
