Template talk:Routing scheme

message: Shouldn't the anycast image show the connection going to the nearest node instead of the further node in the image?
Dthvt (talk) 16:08, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Anycast Template Image 

message: I changed the anycast image because it was somewhat incorrect in that it showed delivery at 3 nodes, when Anycast would actually select the "nearest" of those three.  Anycast is one-to-one-of-many routing not one-to-many.   Also, on the cosmetic side, the Anycast image didn't look like the others, which are all similar.
I based my new image on multicast.svg, from which I simply removed two of the arrows.  Then I noticed that the image I replaced was itself a recent edit from 18 November 2016 by User:FockeWulf FW 190. No reason to suppose it was not a good faith edit, but probably based on a misunderstanding of anycast.
An alternative to my change would be simply to revert back to the last edit of User:Kvng on 26 August 2016.  I didn't do this because I have a slight preference for my image, and I had already uploaded it and made the change.   The older image shows three arrows, with two of the three mysteriously ending before reaching the green nodes.  My image shows three green "candidate" destinations, but only one path.   A bit cleaner-looking and probably a bit more reflective of what the routing would actually be. The arrow that remains also goes to the visually nearest of the three to the origin, overcoming an apparent source of confusion. But no big deal if someone likes the pre-November 2016 image and wants to go back to that. It was, after all, that way for about seven years.  Person54 (talk) 14:13, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

message: This is insufficient. The net-snmp site is awfull and the documentation is almost incomprehensible. We still need a good explanation of what it is and how it works.
Net-SNMP is NOT a protocol. Thus, it should not be listed under "application layer protocols". That is, Net-SNMP is a suite of software. The (application layer) protocol is SNMP (more precisely the protocols are SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, SNMPv3, AgentX etc.) See the list of categories at the bottom on the article. 80.4.63.73 (talk) 08:41, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  "MULTIPLEXING" - PRETENSIOUS VERB 

message: "On Ethernet, this reduces the size of the available payload for protocols such as the Internet Protocol to 1492 bytes" seems to be wrong: the SNAP header is 8 bytes, two of which are stored in the ethernet EtherType field (0xAAAA, the DSAP and SSAP). This leaves 6 bytes overhead when using a SNAP header reducing the payload to 1494 (not 1492) bytes (down from 1500 of ethernet framing without SNAP), or is my math wrong in some way? User:Runtux  —Preceding undated comment added 14:52, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No, this point "two of which are stored in the ethernet EtherType field" is incorrect. The 802.2 LLC header goes after the IEEE 802.3 Type/Length field (which contains the length when 802.2 LLC header is used - it is IEEE 802.3 header, not Ethernet-II header) of the Ethernet header and SNAP header follows the 802.2 LLC header. So there is really room for 1492 bytes of payload. Kolarp (talk) 20:20, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Interactive Connectivity Establishment

message: The terms NAT and Firewall should be carefully considered and contrasted in this topic.  While both functions are sometimes combined in a signgle device, ICE's procedures are designed to optimize the NAT Traversal technique chosen, not to traverse firewalls.  ICEs techniques (STUN, TURN, etc.) will typically succeed in crossing a router/nat/firewall device designed for minimal administrative managment (i.e. home/small business devices like those marketed under brands like D-Link and Linksys), but will frequently not cross a corporate firewall.   This is because the corporate firewall devices are often configured so that UDP traffic is blocked.

Talk:Segmentation and reassembly

message: Segmentation and reassembly (SAR) is the process used to fragment and reassemble variable length packets into fixed length cells so as to allow them to be transported across asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks or other cell based infrastructures. Since ATM's payload is only 48 bytes, nearly every packet from any other protocol has to be processed in this way. Thus, it is an essential process for any ATM node. It is usually handled by a dedicated chip, called the SAR. 103.211.135.25 (talk) 18:40, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Bullionism

message: The Bullionism I learned about had nothing to do with mercantilism and the keeping of gold. Bullionism was a school of thought  that held that a money-issuing bank will not cause inflation as long as it does not increase the amount of paper or credit money to a level above the amount of coin (bullion) that would have circulated in a purely metallic money system. The debate was most active from 1800-1810. David Ricardo was a prominent bullionist, while Charles Bosanquet was a prominent antibullionist. Google "bullionism new school CEPA" for more.

Talk:Nicholas Metropolis

message: Reading the article "Equation of State Calculations by Fast Computing Machines" by N. Metropolis, et al, I realized that it is not very accurate to describe the idea "Instead of choosing configurations randomly, then weighting them with \textstyle e^{-\frac{E}{kT}}, we choose configurations with a probability \textstyle e^{-\frac{E}{kT}} and weight them evenly." as a foundation in the Monte Carlo method. Actually, such idea belongs to the modified Monte Carlo method (at least, that's how the authors called it). Maybe it is useful to write down the context in which the sentence was used:
"Thus the most naive method of carrying out the integration [referring to integrate over multi-dimensional phase space] would be to put each of the N particles at a random position in the square (this defines a random point in the 2N-dimensional configuracion space), then calculate the energy of the system according to Eq. (1) [\textstyle E=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^N \sum_{j=1}^N V(d_{ij}) with \textstyle i \ne j where d_{ij} is the minimum distance between particles i and j, and V is the potential between particles] and give this configuration a weight \textstyle e^{-\frac{E}{kT}}. This method, however, is not practical for close-packed configurations, since with high probability we choose a configuration where \textstyle e^{-\frac{E}{kT}} is very small; hence a configuration of very low weight. So the method we employ is actually a modified Monte Carlo scheme, where, instead of choosing configurations randomly, then weighting them with \textstyle e^{-\frac{E}{kT}}, we choose configuration with a probability \textstyle e^{-\frac{E}{kT}} and weight them evenly."
Therefore, the Monte Carlo method is the method which consists simply "... of integrating over a random sampling of points instead of over a regular array of points" and the so called 'modified Monte Carlo method' is referred to in the quote as the new approach to follow. I don't know if for historical reasons the modified Monte Carlo method usurped the name. However, the original method is described in a footnote as "This method has been proposed independently by J. E. Mayer and by S. Ulam. Mayer suggested the method as a tool to deal with the problem of the liquid state, while Ulam proposed it as a procedure of general usefulness. B. Alder, J. Kirkwood, S. Frankel, and V. Lewinson discussed an application very similar to ours.
Thoughts or clarifications will be really appreciated.
