Saverio, thank you SO much for reading my post on my blog and leaving a comment. I'm glad to read that you consider important my attempt to divulge; that was _exactly_ my hope :-)
I have to ask you some more about the NetSuKuKu technology, but this is last thing. First I want you toknow WHAT I learned from this chitchat with you: 1) I didn't know that the common mesh network protocols identificate a gateway, building a Spanning Tree (I imagine their gateway is the tree root) while NetSuKuKu does NOT. This is the MOST important difference, to me. 2) I didn't know that Wireless Mesh Networks use standard IP protocol as network layer. So, I could say they'e the equivalent of the ethernet ? 3) I didn't know that the TCP/IP is a different stack and it's NOT included in the systems defined by the ISO/OSI stack. 4) I had not considered that the mesh networks require a single entity (a company or a community) to be in charge of configuration I hope this clarify. I have been generic because I have no idea of > your technical background. I also left a comment on your blog. > It is very GOOD and IMPORTANT to have people like you making > "dissemination", in the sense of speaking to the people about this > technologies, but if you have any doubts is better to ask here BEFORE > writing something wrong on the blog :) Thanks again for recognizing my attempt. But I'd have appreciate that instead of pointing me to http://wiki.ninux.org(which I really like) , you would explain why you think I wrote something wrong. I was trying to leverage the knowledge that the general audience gained about p2p systems, such as BitTorrent, eMule and others. So, I was depicting an analogy between those ones, that are on the applicative level, and the idea behind NetSuKuKu, in wich every node is in charge of its fraction of the routing. Is this wrong ? I read it here: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsukuku There are two sentences I quote from there: In una rete di tipo peer-to-peer ogni nodo agisce da router<http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router>which means in a p2p network every node acts as a router AND I nodi non hanno privilegi o limitazioni rispetto ad altri nodi, fanno parte della rete e contribuiscono alla sua espansione ed efficienza, essendo tutti uguali which means nodes have no priveleges one among the other one, they are all equal, they all are part of the net and contribute to its expansion and efficiency. I'll write about this also in a new comment on my blog replying to your one; you know, my audience... ;-) Also one more thing, I've been living in Tor Vergata up to December and I didn't know about the Tuscolo mesh !! Ouch !! Also I happened to read something about the friendship between some of you and Emmanuele Bello, whom I met in Tor Vergata ! What an unfortunate coincidence ! I'd have lovet ot meet you there ! I hope to see you, anyhow Bye Catonano
