The receiving end could always verify a K packet and either DROP or REJECT it if it fails an authenticity test. (DISCLAIMER: I dont follow the news)
The one problem I mentioned though, is if the receiving end itself is untrusted, and this kind of relationship holds for perhaps even 30% of the network, the resulting web of distrust might flood the network with resends and eventually cause all K nodes to DROP all packets and revert to manual fallback. > > Regards, > Danny Ching > > > On Feb 3, 2010, at 9:51 PM, eric pareja <[email protected]> wrote: > >> kawasaki protocol is a variant of SneakerNet and IP over Avian >> Carrier. >> >> back in the old BBSing days, when modem speeds were primarily 1200 and >> 2400 bps and 9600 bps was high speed, we used sneakernet a lot to >> trade files and we even held one or two EBs to copy more than dozens >> floppy disks of Linux installers. the latency was high, but throughput >> was much more than was commonly achieved over the phone lines. plus, >> we could swap stories and share pizza, beer and soda at the same time. >> >> On Wed, Feb 3, 2010 at 8:21 PM, fooler mail <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> comelec must have a continuity plan in case there is a failure of >>> transmission of signed data... one of the options is to use kawasaki >>> protocol... >>> >>> kawasaki protocol is where... get the signed data.. get a kawasaki >>> motorcycle.. and deliver that signed data to the next level (eg. >>> municipal level) :-> >>> >>> i coined this kawasaki protocol during the 90's where my friend was >>> complaining to me that it took days for him to transfer its hundreds >>> of megabytes of banking database data over to a 33.6kbps modem where >>> the two offices are just 5 kilometers apart... he had a kawasaki >>> motorcycle at that time... i told him the throughput of kawasaki >>> protocol is way better than using a 33.6kbps modem :-> >>> >>> now if they want to cheat kawasaki protocol.. they must use >>> *ampatuan* >>> protocol.. hehehehe >> >> -- >> Eric Manuel Pareja ([email protected]) LPIC-2 >> Coordinator for Technology / Senior Linux Trainer >> National Telehealth Center, University of the Philippines Manila >> Philippines >> International Open Source Network - ASEAN+3 >> PGP/GPG Key 0xB82E42D9 >> "Ang mundo ay aklat, at iisang pahina lamang ang nababasa ng hindi >> naglalakbay." - San Agustin >> わかよたれぞ つねならむ >> _________________________________________________ >> Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List >> http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug >> Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph > _________________________________________________ > Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List > http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug > Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph -- This email is: [ ] actionable [ ] fyi [ ] social Response needed: [ ] yes [ ] up to you [ ] no Time-sensitive: [ ] immediate [ ] soon [ ] none _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
