me again....
My provider checked things out after I caused a major panic over here in
Europe (by using CuSeeme it seems I overloaded the net).
He claims CuSeeme (or the reflectors) are NOT TCP/IP, but UDP/IP.
And in the "small print" of the providers contract it says they will provide
total TCP/IP access. So they legally can cut this UDP/IP - thing...
preventing us from using CuSeeme!
Does anyone know what UDP means? And what the difference is compared to TCP/IP ?
My provider claims CuSeeme (or the reflector) do NO CHECKING wether the
packets sent are all received. So they send 128 kbytes/sec (for example),
not knowing if I (on a dial-up PPP modem-connection) can receive them. And
with this 128 kbytes/sec, the whole system reaches it's maximum over here!
Perhaps the people at Cornell can give me some answers to this one?
I wan't to keep using CuSeeme (I love it), but I don't want to cause more
trouble to the rest of Europe!
