  43 &gt;&gt;<i>Andy, I don't want to be rude or anything but why would anyone want to have
  44 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>a network where servers are connected in a circular fashion?
  45 </I>&gt;<i>
  46 </I>&gt;<i>      Two words:  No netsplits.  Well, few netsplits, certainly compared to
  47 </I>&gt;<i> the current tree-style networks.  Until the Internet becomes as stable as
  48 </I>&gt;<i> the telephone network--which to be honest I can't see happening in the near
  49 </I>&gt;<i> future; I'm honestly scared shitless at the thought of ordinary phone calls
  50 </I>&gt;<i> being routed over the Internet--links are going to drop out occasionally
  51 </I>&gt;<i> for no fault of the servers, and to avoid problems arising from that we
  52 </I>&gt;<i> need redundancy at a higher level, like the IRC network level.
  53 </I>&gt;<i>
  54 </I>&lt;snip&gt;

  56 If I read this correctly this new protocol will allow more than one
  57 connection to the same server at the same time? ... if so how will Jupes be
  58 handled? ... and how will the network know which way to send data, so that
  59 the server that is connected more than once don't receive it's data from
  60 more than one source?

  62 With DSL growing so popular the end user portion is already gorwing &quot;more
  63 stable&quot;. :)
