Subject: [NNagain] Flash priority

 

One of the things that affects net neutrality and latency is packet priority
and also density of traffic

 

Most of you here probably know there's a flash bit that can be set in a
packet to indicated top priority

[RR] One man’s “top priority” packet is another man’s
“congesting/nuisance”packet.  Assigning priorities to an application’s ADUs
on the web is simply not going to happen in any logical, rational, or
meaningful way for obvious reasons.   There is not nor will there be, a
global internet police force, and we don’t really want one again for obvious
reasons.  As long as people think that gaming packets have any priority
whatsoever, this problem will continue to exist until such time as the
information carrying capacity of the internet exceeds that of the gamer’s
demands by an order of magnitude.  And, of course, that will never happen
because when you build a faster highway, “they” will build more cars to fill
it up!  IMO, the ONLY “way forward” is to train human beings to think for
themselves and realize that frivolous use of the precious resource called
the web is simply NOT in their best interest.  That is, bring up our
children to “get a life”! For the time being, I guess we all have to put up
with “stupid cat videos”and “minecrafters” (OK … I am dating myself:-))
doing what they do best … increasing latency for everyone! Thinking that the
web should be a resource for the betterment of mankind is a dream that will
only become a reality when “WE BELIEVE IT WILL”! Unfortunately, we are not
there yet :-(:-(:-(

My question firstly is flash traffic legally restricted on the Internet or
can I upload any priority I wish to send?

 

My question secondly is since I already have firstnet which many of you may
not know about,

 

Let me describe that firstly

 

And I think it was 2012 after 9/11 of 2001 the legislature enacted what was
to become firstnet who now provided as AT&T sole source

 

Firstnet reserves band 14 of lte traffic for exclusive use of first
responders communicating with each other including dispatch

 

Certain work I do makes me eligible for firstnet plus I feel a lot of
paperwork to get that filled out a lot of paperwork to get that

 

Excuse me I can't keyboard it's the microphone doing that

 

So my second question is assuming you know what firstnet is already would I
as a firstnet connected person be able to send a flash priority packet if
needed?

 

 

Third question is

 

Is anyone doing CSD these days? For those of you who don't know CSD takes a
hell of a lot of man with to get a little bit of data through but it is
capable of sending a secure fax when needed substituting bandwidth for the
word man GM sorry.

 

So my hands shake and I can't use the keyboard and I have ADHD which leaves
errors in place for this I apologize
