Contrast unicasting,multicasting,and broadcasting as techniques 4 delivering content across a computer network

Strange question....\nUnicast address is the MAC address (usually burned onto the NIC) which identifies ONE specific node on the network...\nMulticasting is the process of sending out a frame/packet that is targetted to be processed by only those nodes on a specific subnet that the Multicast node is targeting. This is usually carried out by some specific applications that need to let other devices on the subnet know that it is available or ready. Usually used by various routing protocols to create routing tables and/or information about their "neighbours"...\nBroadcast is a packet to be processed targetting every device on a network. Each device determin wheter the incoming data is for them and if not, it is discarded...\n\nHope this clarifies what you are asking....

such software is very rare, although server programming have "chunk delivery" to control general delivery. Controlling individual user connection is almost unheard of.  In the end, buying more bandwidth might prove to be cheaper than any other specialized configurations.

There is a theory stating that the universe can be composed of information.  However, transmitting an object through a network or a cable means that you have to "transform" the object´s atomic structure and make it compatible with the format and bandwith of the means you are using to transmit it.  Theoretically it is possible (like in the movie "The fly"), but current science has still its limitations about it.

Go programming... Sounds like its easier to get things going. Networking has programming and data communication type issues.

Usenet with Newsleecher.  I think newshosting.com is the best provider around, at least from my experience.

Nope it has multicast tags for multiple session sharing. That means pretty much anyone sniffing your segment of the network could possibly pick it up.

Direct communication handles the propagation and management of message streams between the involved co-workers. Services include the creation, transfer, synchronization and filtering message streams.\n\nThe direct communication can occur in synchronously. In the synchronous mode a real-time communication link is established and the information is exchanged in real-time between the synchronization of multiple message streams such as audio, video and data. \n\nThe data component itself may consist of multiple streams; for example one data stream contains the shared group document while other data streams may specify telepointer coordinates of the different group members. The communication has to be adapted to the available network bandwidth and to the quality of service requirements as well as to the characteristics of the coordination tasks. Examples of the latter case are the urgency of the coordination or the relationship between the group members such as does there already exist a trusted relationship between them because they cooperated successfully in the past? A trusted relationship required a much smaller communication channel because there is already a mutual understanding between the involved partners. Thus, it is not necessary to specify explicitly all coordination goals and requirements.\n\nAn increasingly important technical concept to model and implement direct communication is that of group communication. Every co-worker is represented by a separate system component which is executed in the local environment. All these components are combined into the single abstraction of a group. Messages sent to the group are automatically distributed to all group components and thus, delivered to all co-workers. Besides message delivery, group communication incorporates further mechanisms, such as group management, ordering of messages and atomic message delivery despite network or host failures.\n\n\nIn the context of direct communication, information is actively propagated to the co-workers. Coordination of group activities is based on events caused by the information flow.\n\n\nIndirect communication is based on asynchronously mode where the existence of a central or a distributed workspace which contains all the shared artifacts of the group works. The work space is passive and it may be browsed or queried to determined group documents for retrieval. Modifications of shared artifacts may cause notification which is propagated to interested co-workers. \n\nAsynchronous communication is typically based on email such as there is no real-time interaction between the involved co-workers. Thus, the requirements for the necessary communication infrastructure are less stringent than for the synchronous communication.\n\n \nFigure: Synchronous and asynchronous for direct and indirect communication in Groupware\n\nFigure above shows the synchronous and asynchronous for direct and indirect communication while designing a real system. These modes must be treated differently.\n \nFigure: Direct communication and Indiorect communication in Groupware within shared artifacts\n\nFigure above represent the direct and indirect communication between Groupware where the participants considering that in most cases the participants are working on shared artifacts and some of the communication and coordination is done via manipulation of the shared artifacts.

I understand you want to implement something like Peer to Peer file sharing but, instead backups.\nThis is not efficient because first of all backups are large and they cannot be easily transferred, also there would be huge netwrok traffic.\nThey must kept safe and secure.\nThe transmission is not safe, as your application may open a port on each computer.\nYou would have firewall issue.\nThere are FTP services for such a purpose.\nBut I can give you a better Idea.\nTo setup a central Virtual Backup Server.\nThis is a virtual Private Netwrok that has a storage and allocates storage for each user, The server should use FTP, or TCP (HTTP like file manager), and the server should kept safe.\nI would suggest use Hosting from data centres, Like Brinkster.com.\nthe setup is easy and you may not need any other applications to build.\nHowever you should be aware of your bandwitdh limit.\n;) good Luck\nMrB

a thesis in what subject are you looking for and at what level (elementtary, hs, college)  is it for? you could do something concerning the $100 dollar computer in underdeveloped countries concept (  http://news.com.com/The+100+laptop+moves+closer+to+reality/2100-1044_3-5884683.html ) they're trying to develop or more feasible alternatives such as centers for villages etc...also the technology they wish to use for internet access and other networking is called "mesh networking" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_networking )..basically its "Mesh networking is a way to route data, voice and instructions between nodes. It allows for continuous connections and reconfiguration around blocked paths by "hopping" from node to node until a connection can be established." You could research other uses for this technology (one i have seen relays tv channels: (http://www.viidoo.com)
