You didn't see the second part of the question. Yes, there are a few protocols that use Ethernet without using TCP/IP. Do any on that smaller list us IP addresses?

I can think of quite a few that use Ethernet, but I can't think of anything that uses static IP addresses that doesn't use TCP/IP, on Ethernet or otherwise.

That there may be something someone has made work in a lab doesn't mean that we should assume the most obscure and inane definitions for the task at hand.

TCP/IP is the name of the protocol suite that includes UDP. UDP is a subset of TCP/IP. TCP is a subset of TCP/IP. UDP/IP doesn't exist.

They used to be pumps, and often still are. I was told that if they are very loud, and the sound comes on and off when you activate it, then the dispensers are pumps.

IF there's no security, then just mirror port 1 on all the other ports (obviously, presuming you've plugged the 16 pumps on ports 1-16). The software "logs in" to pump 1, and pumps 2-16 think they are logged in by the same computer. That their handshake was discarded doesn't matter, if security was bad enough. Then, when you push the update to 1, 2-16 will think it's for them, and install it without issue.

I've found that reading anonymously, so you aren't logged in or posting at all, is the quickest way to get granted mod points.

Rockets on the bottom is the right way to land a rocket.

Since you are standing on a solid ground, and not on the Earth, the north pole is on the moon?

Nope. Those "inner rings" wouldn't allow you to walk south for one mile, so they are invalid. And allowing that you start walking south, and continue "straight" regardless of whether it later becomes north, would (at a first glance) would send you too far north, so that you can't get back home. If you are exactly one mile north of the south pole, you could satisfy the conditions , if you allow spinning in place to count for "walking west" as you'll be spinning west.

So anti-competitive collusion from an oligopoly isn't a "price control"? Most people would put price fixing into "price control".

They use 20 towers for the link. You are assuming that it's 1 on each end and 18 "repeaters" in the middle. I'd read some details in the system where they are doing dumb amplification most of the way, so they don't catch, decode, and repeat the signal. An amplifier isn't a repeater. That's why I didn't give any details. Because the details aren't clear because it's all proprietary, and they don't want it clear what they are doing and how, so others have more work to do to copy them. A dumb amp can do a pretty good job of amplifying signal with minimal distortion, and doesn't ad much delay.

Most people expect a 2-5 second delay after click to action. So it's not a "problem" for web pages, just not necessarily optimal. And DNS isn't the bottleneck for latency. My computer, and router cache DNS, and my DNS is my ISP's, so the link from me to them is short. Their connection to the server of authority is immaterial because it's recursed to about once a day.

They are solving a problem that doesn't exist. The next step is to try to convince people that the non-problem is a problem.

By your definition, you are a telephone company employee if you take phone orders.

The real world proves you wrong, unless you assert they can do NYC to Chicago in a single hop.

I worked for one of those. The problem for us was rain on the satellite feed, not the ground links. And it still applies to many places. You need a big dish (or dish farm) to pull from the satellites, or about 1 Gbps from a main distribution center.

It's a shame that the experts working on deploying this have never though of that, and don't know how to build a margin into the link budget, and no engineer has ever thought about it, so that you can't buy anything with automatic gain adjustment to compensate.

They should fire all the physicists and engineers working for them and hire you and pay you for the 30 jobs you are replacing.

And microwave transmission speed is about 25% faster than fiber optics.
