Interplanetary Internet Tested In Space
Anonymous Coward writes "After Vint Cerf planned the Interplanetary Internet, there's a press release saying that the Interplanetary Internet is now being tested in space, using the Bundle Protocol developed by the Delay-Tolerant Networking Research Group. There's a conference paper with details on the testing too. These guys were previously the first to test IPv6 in space. Now they've found something with even fewer users than IPv6 to play with!"
This is impossible. How the hell is are interplanetary tubes supposed to work?
Does VoIP work when there's no sound in space?

Uhh, where else would they test it?
Dude, if you're going to FP, do it right.
Make it worth our while. We want to read trollposts of epic proportions. We want to see that you've done your homework. We want to feel the cognitive dissonance of simultaneous +1 informative and -1 troll(though -1 flamebait is also acceptable).
We've read niggers, goatse, coprophilia, homosexual anal sex, and bestiality. The clock is ticking -- the more others post, the less likely that you will innovate before they do.
It's a tough world, man. Getting the first post is no longer enough. You will continue to study new methods or else you will become obsolete.
End of story.
TFA says transmission between the earth and satellites. So, Ok, the earth is a planet (yeah, like whatever), where is the ohter planet? Did those astronmy clowns change the planet definition again?
You could literally hear your packet being relayed from point to point.
I am not surprised! Morse keys make a racket!

Through good fortune and rewards for acts of kindeness, she gathered many microgrammes of sulfur during her blessed lyffe time. No Body has bean forward to claim her Estate for Six (6 )months she hs passed. Her Estate will be absorbed soon , with no Benefisheeary. She would have want it to be past to Sum Body to do good acts with and it will be wasteful to abzorb.
