Introducing 802.11s - Wireless Mesh Networking
ikewillis writes "Intel has introduced a new wireless networking standard called 802.11s. This standard utilizes a mesh topology, allowing for fully self-configuring networks where each node can relay messages on behalf of others, thus increasing the range and available bandwidth with the number of nodes active within the system, versus the point-to-point structure of existing WiFi networks. This will radically transform WiFi hotspots, allowing the geographical area and available bandwidth on the network to scale with the number of participants."
No. We will not explain.
However, we will chide you for not including 802.11n on your list!
It is no longer uncommon to be uncommon.
Let's see a network specification vs a kludge. Let me think...
We can make a faster computers or wire together a dozen old computers and get the same speed.
It is no longer uncommon to be uncommon.
no, but i bet if you were to go to www.google.com and type in something like "why is it called 802.11b" you just "MIGHT" find an answer....
of course in Soviet Russia... you explain to the government... I know, but somebody had to say it...
802.11b = bad. It works but there's better to come
802.11g = good. Now it's worth using
802.11s = shit. That's what users on the fringe of the network will be screaming when the "link" node between the access point and them finishes their lunch and leaves, cutting them off too
Because, as we all know, P2P networks are EVIL.

As I said in some previous post...
My preeciousss.
"Wireless XML mesh adaptive grid networking high speed premium edition XP ultra pro elite extreme" standard.
Just think about the synergies and win-win go to market opportunities that can be obtained by utilizing it.
"yeah steve, my car took a dump when i pulled into the mechanic's shop yesterday" sorry, but your name inspired me.
"I think that's the first time Google every came up with nothing."
I ran across something once.
"Derp de derp."
I'm sorry to hear that that's how you feel about your government - maybe you should vote differently next time?
Here in Scandinavia we tend to trust governmental institutions more than private ones, simply because any sort of scandal (bribery, abuse, etc.) not only has economical, but also political consequences. Hence, if an employee in the public system (which is rather large, compared the yours) is found guilty of some sort of abuse of his position, his whole department will be thoroughly investigated and there will probably be made some new rules (maybe even laws) in order to prevent it from happening again.
If a corporation misuses its position it can be fined, and some people might get thrown to jail. That doesn't prevent the next corporation in the line to do the same thing though.
Conclusion: Democratic (public) institutions/companies has a hgher incentive towards fighting corruption that private (non-democratic) have. Unless you of course think that the US public institutions aren't democratic...
Shouldn't you be watching wrestling? Or is the praising Jesus hour?
