This dont only effects nodes, but also points. I encourage every new link requester to search an addtl. uplink in case my system breaks to have at least a 2nd uplink on hold and if you still have a 2nd running uplink, the fidoweb you've probably don't get a notice once a break goes down - at least temporarly 'cause all mails will be delivered from another uplink. http://www.vlist.eu/downloads/fidonews/nads.txt at the same time, R24 lost his RC Fidonet Region 24 recovery/reorganisation ... [26.03.2012] RC24 system down and after recovery a reorganisation in mail and fileflow started. From a mail and file backbone net of net 2:244 back in 1996 with 4 links long distance and several local calls links and interchange all mails and files at local level and to divide the traffic into 4 aediquate parts for the A..D hubs and interchange the rest at local level, this becomes the first blueprint A === B == C == D \ / \ / BBR1 BBR2 | | ? ? and the bbr ring structure 5 years later within R24 BBR1-2 BBR1-3 \ / BBR1-1 -- BBR0-1 === BBR0-2 -- BBR1-4 || || BBR1-8 BBR0-3 === BBR0-4 -- BBR1-5 / \ BBR1-7 BBR1-6 If you'll find a nodelist from around 2003 you'll find in R24 listings as RIA's ,901,R24_Backbone_Ring-0,Altenholz,Christian_von_Busse,49-431-3288765,300,CM,XA,X75,V110L,V110H ,902,R24_Backbone_Ring-0,Bamberg,Harald_Kamm,49-951-21554,9600,XX,CM,VFC,V32T,H16,X2C,X75 ,903,R24_Backbone_Ring-0,Berlin,Karsten_Ebeling,49-30-70767697,9600,V32B,V42B,V34,VFC,XA,CM,X75 ,905,R24_Backbone_Ring-0,Porta_Westfalica,Sven_Dueker,49-571-9520096,9600,CM,XX,H16,V32B,VFC,X2S,V90S,X75 ,916,R24_Backbone_Ring-0,Stuttgart,Oliver_Kopp,49-711-3418447,300,CM,XA,MO,X75 ,920,R24_Backbone_Ring-0,Willich,Wilfried_Hausmann,49-2156-952830,300,CM,MO,X75 ,922,R24_Backbone_Ring-0,Nidderau,Hugo_Andriessen,49-6187-27434,9600,CM,XX,V32B,V42B,X75 901, 902 are still active as link hubs, 916 + 922 are still end nodes today. others stepped in to keep the message and file flow rolling. Above to constructs build the basis for the meshed network in 2012 starting with a simple flat one ring # / | \ / | \ #-- # --# \ | / \ | / # the advanced idea was to expand the ring to three dimensional turn 90 degree into the first ring A A / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ #-- B --# #-- B --# \ | / \ | / \ | / \ | / C C so the result becomes a structured bullet a 2nd enhancement was to add addtl. nodes in between the links # / | \ # - # - # / | \ # -#- # -#- # \ | / # - # - # \ | / # once we've started with this idea within r24 we've received requests from all around Europe to exchange also international echos via meshed links 'cause this allows us, to circumvent crashes of main links ... no one is any longer a main link ... the mail flow is guaranteed This construct I've discussed first with Markus Reschke, former NEC 244, before we've moved net 244 to net 240 in November 2013.
