  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>If I read this correctly this new protocol will allow more than one
  35 </I>&gt;<i>connection to the same server at the same time?
  36 </I>
  37      Yes.
  38
  39 &gt;<i>... if so how will Jupes be handled? ...
  40 </I>
  41      You won't be able to do them the way you do now; you'd need to
  42 modify servers' configurations and/or add a new command to keep a server
  43 out.
  44
  45      Come to think of it, this does raise an interesting problem where a
  46 server connects with the same name and ID as another server already on
  47 the network, causing some/all messages to that server to be misdirected.
  48 Maybe we need a remote address check on duplicate connections (which
  49 would allow jupes to work again).
  50
  51 &gt;<i>and how will the network know which way to send data, so that
  52 </I>&gt;<i>the server that is connected more than once don't receive it's data from
  53 </I>&gt;<i>more than one source?
  54 </I>
  55      This is described in section 1.6.
  56
  57 &gt;<i>With DSL growing so popular the end user portion is already gorwing &quot;more
  58 </I>&gt;<i>stable&quot;. :)
  59 </I>
  60      Tell that to one of my friends on EsperNet who delinked his server
  61 because his DSL connection was so unstable.
  62
  63      Also remember that stability is not just the end-user-to-uplink
  64 connection, but all the routers on the paths between the servers/clients--
  65 it's actually the latter part that worries me the most.
