Warriors of the net tcp/ip movie

I am d/l it now but the pipe at the other end
is either small or overloaded
I am only getting 21K, usually I get 130-180K
depending on the time of day on my ADSL

Well It is time to start the Pop-Corn Maker!!

Re-thinking about it, the part about dropped packet is misleading:
it implies that when high bandwidth is connected to lower bandwidth, packets get dropped and resent, when in fact this should rarely happen because of the send/recieve windows and acknowledges...

I have used this as a teaching tool myself, in a over view class it gives the student visual understanding of the protocals and how they in a light hearted way.

Hi,
I think the movie is nice, it looks nice, nice music, etc. But it is nice only if you want to visualize the whole tcp/ip system. It's almost for little kids (of the future maybe), to learn very basic computer communication. I think the movie, how nice it is, is a bad projection of the tcp/ip world. Packets don't get kicked in the right direction, routers don't just drop packets if they can't handle them, etc. etc. If you really want to understand tcp/ip don't watch this movie. Packets aren't some kind of little bulldozers.

It also is getting old, but that has already been mentioned. I think I have it for over a year now...
That was my oppinion, I like the movie. Nice find.

I loved it! I cried at the end :-)

Sweet, dling it now, I've been wondering though, anyone have a good Linux app that plays mpeg's? Or is there one already on SuSE that can play mpegs? I havent googled it yet >.<, but I was just wondering if anybody knows of some off the top of their heads. Thanks guys!

SuSE has more than almost every Linux distro combined. If your using KDE, click on the KDE menu, then go to multimedia and video, also you can install more right of the SuSE install media. Mplayer is one that comes to mind I used alot, XINE is prolly there too.
