Can we eliminate IP? Is there a protocol that can send files as a one
way broadcast? Just as we get streaming digital video on our DTH.
It's called the postal department. I believe Canonical used this method
for quite some time, I don't know if they still do.
Thanks. I am googling for it but cannot get it. Is there any official
name for it?
He means IP over Post/Courier. Specific name would be ``Ubuntu Shipit''. They
transmit several PetaBytes of data all over the world at very cheap costs i
believe.
HeHe! And I was googling for postal dept. protocol, postal dept.
broadcast protocol. But on a serious note, a lot of research work is
being carried out on transmission protocols. Unfortunately its all
happening abroad. Even on this list there is little participation in
technological discussions.
