    Internet infrastructure is definitely not as fast as possible >.>

    • @Grymyrk
      @Grymyrk 9 лет назад +29

      GlenwingKyros Sure it is but it's only as fast as the slowest node in the route. Which is probably the ISP that likes to throttle the connections.

    • @Guldaar
      @Guldaar 9 лет назад +14

      Grymyrk True in theory, wrong in practice. Speeds given are often arbitrary and artificially policed to a low rate, yes that is a real inter-networking term.
      Case an point, Google Fibre moving into certain cities in the states and miraculously speeds offered by competitors are up to 6x faster for the same price OVERNIGHT.
      And yes, I work in the industry, I'm not just blowing smoke.

    • @Grymyrk
      @Grymyrk 9 лет назад +1

    • @Guldaar
      @Guldaar 9 лет назад +1

      Grymyrk
      You didn't tho, you made more of a blanket statement while while true in theory, just isn't the issue is in the real world.

    • @Grymyrk
      @Grymyrk 9 лет назад +3

      Saelaniify I said some service providers like to throttle. You said some ISPs stop throttling when there is competition. How is that incompatible?

  • @swmike
    @swmike 9 лет назад +7

    I would have appreciated a mention of the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) which has a lot more to do with Internet infrastructure than ICANN does. That's where standards for IP, TCP, UDP, HTTP, SMTP and all the rest are created and maintained.

  • @jmwloup5110
    @jmwloup5110 8 лет назад +15

    Linus I love your videos and I applaud your pride of Canada. Sadly you're slightly mistaken. You talked about ICANN running the internet but because you are not employed by the US Federal government, as I am, you may not know that ICANN is controlled by the US Dept of Commerce. This is done through ICANN's administrator NTIA, a section of this federal department. Now to be fair for over a decade their has been an international push for IANA, which controls IP addresses, to fall into international hands. The opposition for this is that many concepts that led to today's internet came from the US such as NSFnet. This is a US science foundation for advancing education to higher learning institutions. Predateing that is ARPAnet, a US military agency for federal projects. It should be no surprise that the internet has been largely controlled by the US and maybe even rightly so.

    Next Tech Quickie. Explain the OSI model. Great stuff btw. The way I see how stuff get routed/switched. ->
    (Layer 1)10101010 [Binary] [ethernet protocol] ->
    (Layer 2) Binary encapsulated into a frame [Switches] ->
    (Layer 3) Frames encapsulated into a packet either ipv4 or ipv6 depending on the application ->
    (Layer 4) the sending method is decided uses either TCP or UDP for reliability or unreliable traffic.->
    [now the packet is routable by a layer 3 switch or wan router using eigrp/ospf/ripv2/or a static route]
    Then the packet is sent to the ISP who uses either BGP or ISIS routing protocols over an MPLS network (hopefully).
    As a network engineer we normally don't care about Layer 5,6,or 7 but some times I have to troubleshoot those >.

    If we refer to the term "internet" as interconnected networks, the video applies well as an explanation. But the mention of the HTTP protocol was somewhat unnecessary and could have been replaced to define TCP / IP, Internet socket, or the differences between TCP and UDP, in a simple way of course.
    Also, *squee*!!!

    I work at a NOC in one of the world's largest IP networks, and I can safely say that congestion is normally not "dynamically" avoided. Though there are ways to go about it of course. There are ways to avoid congestions though, mostly through network and traffic engineering.

    Howdy! Long time fan! I'm sad to see you didn't cover prime time ISP bog down for the US which is a major issue still for some places or the fact traffic isn't always rerouted when everyone in an area is streaming netflix(as am example). This is a major issue for us in the US. I would like to see this information covered in the future or more insight on why the route isn't always redirected when an ISP or ISP peering partner like Level1 or tcore nodes is dropping packets or having issues.
    Thank you! Keep up the great work! You guys are amazing!

    One major factual flaw in this video. Congestion does not meaningfully affect routing on the internet. If it did, you wouldn't have shenanigans where connecting to a VPN improves streaming speeds from major metropolitan areas. The vast majority of routers update their routes infrequently and update their routes based on ability to connect more than quality of connection when they do update their routes.

    My teacher said that the internet is basically a HUGE LAN chain. If that'a the case, then how do proxies work? The point of a proxy is to mask your IP or add another layer of security or whatever but wouldn't you basically habe to take the same path to get to the proxy anyway?(Yes I watched the linus video on Proxies).

    So I have 2 questions how would a new ISP start up and not piggyback off of a bigger company and if everything was connected wouldn't the speed of the Internet not only depend on me but on the server that's hosting the website
