This tech has been around for many years, yet not used to its true potential. Now, SKY wants to use it as a transfer technology of its Skywire network, as opposed to traditional IP routing. Any ideas on this? Will it work better? Are we going to see major improvements while using Skywire? Do you know other projects that plan to use it?

in an MPLS ndtwork, the first router determines the packets final destination, as opposed to traditional IP routing where each router checks the packets destinations.. so theoretically it s a lot better yes
Jack Howard
Thanks, fren! Supposedly, if the very first router to receive a packet determines the packet's entire route upfront, the process is a lot faster.
Tyler Cruz
Label switching been used everywhere for over 15 years already. Whoever wrote this crypto using MPLS who sounds like total idiot selling snake oil.

it really depends on the speed of the whole network how this multiprotocol performs. what is SKY s infrastructure?
Ryan Davis
currently, it s a VPN over the traditional ISPs
the main hardware, the SKYminer, has the following configuration:
>8 CPU boards
>2 GB of RAM per board
>4 CPU cores per board
>64 GB of storage per board
>64-bit Linux (Alpine Linux)
>Gigabit ethernet, 8+1 port switch
"Each board features an ARM processor, 2 GB of RAM, and anywhere from 32 to 256 GB flash storage. The hardware is segmented in such a way that even if one service is compromised, the other services on the same machine can’t be. An OpenWRT router with strict packet forwarding rules and access control increases security. The setup can be further customized to consist of 4, 8, 16, or 32 boards."
Soon, they will launch antennas so that proximity nodes can connect directly without the use of the traditional ISP.

the end user gets to see the old TCP/IP protocol so dont come here with this BS, fren
Ian Harris
Skywire’s communication protocol also provides privacy and security advantages over TCP/IP. each node on a packet’s route can only see the previous hop and the next hop for that packet, not the source, destination, or the content. this is a significant improvement over IPv4, where anyone handling a packet can see both the destination, the source, and worst-of-all, any unencrypted data
William Morales
this was mostly used by enterprises so indeed, the home users did not get much action from an MPLS
Adrian Parker
yeah, well SKY is about to change that. you can read more on the Skywire here:

the routes are pre-determined, taking traffic speed to a new level of efficiency

mkey, starting to make sense
Nolan Wilson
SKYwire better deliver, I cant wait for the mesh net to be working. my two DIY miners are ready for some hot action, OP

MPLS is old tech, but has always been too expensive to implement. It requires amounts ram that was way too expensive a decade or two ago. That's half the point of the orange pi primes in the official miner. 2gb of ram on a $35 board.
Just like how lasers have been around since the 60's but we've just now found a decent use for them in optical drives and self driving cars.
Michael Bailey
so what's your alternative? SD-WAN?
Jonathan Nguyen
Oh, I'm fine with MPLS, I think it's exciting to be able to use. Just pointing out that it doesn't matter that it's been around for a while.
Adam Gutierrez
>SD-WAN
This is cool too, but I'd only use it for endpoint solutions. Like if I want to set up a simple meshnet through an entire apartment complex and put up a payment gateway, which would all hook into a skyminer and then backhaul antennas.
Elijah Anderson
well yea when it comes to avoiding packet loss and keeping a SKY's traffic flowing is the best. Packets travel only along the paths to which they’re directed which is what SKY needs
Brody Howard
any ideas about how much the bandwidth will cost? I still didn't figure it out if it's going to be skycoins or coin hours
Josiah Martinez
I think they will go further with CoinHours, for a while at least. But I am not sure, just my opinion.
Christian Gomez
I assume there's different packages or you can tailor your own depending on how much bandwidth you need. The payments are all in Skycoins
Nathaniel Parker
Are we talking about replacing TCP/IP protocols? If so, Skywire is already changing something. The fact that itbis running is already an achievement. I don't know any other coin which has something similar. Only trying to achieve, but not a device per se.
Jeremiah Ramirez
Nope, you have to spend your Skycoins for bandwidth, that's for sure. Coin Hours are used for a variety of things but not this
Carter Rogers
>>there's different packages or you can tailor your own
users are paying only for the amount of bandwidth they consume
D'uuh
how do think things like scalability and performance are achieved? MPLS is the latest wide acknowledged protocol for such biz
Jacob Moore
No, I'm pretty sure coinhours are also for bandwidth. Sky is designed to be held, not spent, since it's a representation of a piece of the network, not the resources it generates per hour, like bandwidth.
Eli White
Whatever it is, it's going to be cheaper than current data rates.
Take whatever ISPs have to spend now as operating costs, then remove most of the regulation, zoned property, and other requirements that it takes to actually have infrastructure all over a country. That and it's new, much more efficient infrastructure, so operating costs should be pretty competitive.
Logan White
what the fuck are you even smoking here kids
I hope at least one of you retarded ass zoomers knows that MPLS is strictly service provider VPN technology and you can't just design and forward your own labels by connecting some random cryptoshit at home...
in order for this shit to even remotely work out in real life you would have to redesign global internet design as we know it.
I hope at least one of you do you
Carter Reyes
can't be. why do you sentence
Skycoin to ethernal stillness? It doesn't make sense
Noah Cook
Yeah, that's exactly what's happening. It's literally a new internet with new hardware.
Hudson Morris
CoinHours is part of Skywire.
I agree with u, Skycon is too keep it, not to spend it. The mechanism of working for Skywire is in sich way that allow privacy through CoinHours, so yeah. Bandwith will be paid in CoinHours. Untill they come up with something else.
Christopher Ortiz

>>redesign global internet design
that's what Skywire is about *eye-rolling*
Kayden Gray
you either retarded or super naive thinking you can build new internet on new hardware
wireless mesh networks maybe but good luck trying to compete with global telecom moguls to work with you on your magic crypto labels
>wtf am I even reading...this nonsense fucking hurting my brain
Connor Bennett
>tfw synth talks dirty to you about minimum spanning trees
Joseph Robinson
>that cryptoanarchist feel when you can push mpls labels over your wireless raspberi pi to dump your cryptos on newfags
Gavin Jones
Nice quads and nice image.
Two reasons this will work.
1. An independent operator with a few antennas on his house and a Skyminer inside doesn't have to deal with regulation and business expenses, making their operating costs much cheaper than ISPs.
2. The only real point of concern in this plan is submarine cables, like the map you posted. These are operated by hundreds of companies and pricing has been dropping consistently for years. Skywire operators, already with an operational advantage can buy submarine cable bandwidth for around $5k/mo.
None of this will happen overnight, legacy internet will continue to be used until it's slowly phased out over the next decade.

THIS is very important. The whole point is to have a frictionless transition from old to new web. There is still a lot of work to do and services, applications, games & projects to add. These are reasons to use it.
Some are giving opinions on something who barely has a content.
Mason Davis
Aren't you optimistic :)
But it's more like how self driving cars are right around the corner.
Nathaniel Thompson
sure except that there's going to be human behind self-driving machine anyway and technological progress doesn't work like you kids wish it would
Adam Baker
Nah, those will be fully phased out sooner than you think. Like I'll be able to put cargo in a vehicle and send it to another location unattended by 2022.
Christopher Nelson
It's just encapsulation of ip-packets in labels to conserve routing tables in the core of the network and provide agnostic transport (for IP E1/T1 services). And carrier level l2/l3 vpns. Nothing special about it, you can do the same shit with IP, GRE (in fact evpn-vxlan does exactly that for L2). In fact with any packet-in-packet encapsulation. It's more about the control plane which dictates your vpn/tunnel logic and orchestrates the circuits. That's where the value is or can be. Also encryption, since mpls doesn't provide any.
Xavier Rodriguez
>MPLS is the latest wide acknowledged protocol for such biz
And what protocol actually distributes MPLS label in scalable fashion? Isn't it MP-BGP? Which also runs the internet? What's the point then? If you don't get rid of bgp, you've changed nothing. And if you do get rid of it - then it doesn't matter which encapsulation you use. Even bare ip will do.

mpls is actually before IP sitting on Layer 2.5 and you can do fancy IPSec over MPLS for encryption but none of this matter because new generation of zoomers who's getting scammed by this shitcoin have any idea how RFC's developed and approved
this whole thing is about some random gibbirish clown who learned new fancy network protocol term today and now trying to sound cool getting zoomers to buy his bags

I'm not sure if you're the same guy that has been BTFO skyfags for months here, but if you are, you're doing god's work. Seeing these retards cope when you dismantle the sci-fi story that Synth has promised them is delicious. Keep BTFOing away cause this is comedy gold. I might screenshot some of your answers to generate more butthurt on my own when you're not here.
