thanks brian for your great explanation  , something came to my mind  
imediatly,

.........i remember these days when i connect to the internet using my  
1 und 1 - 14,4kb modem in the 90th

there was no NAT,

 i connected with a little programm to a specific ip adress,

there was not even DNS involed at that time. for the programm i was  
talking about ;)


So there were no caches und buffers with information about my usage  
exept  on the server where i was connected to.

Just one question because i am reading a lot about all these routing  
ptotocols in the past , is uia / uip  more usefull in sparse or dense  
networks or both ?

bright new 2009

cheers from cologne
