Talk:Dumb network

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You have new messages (last change).

I read the article and came away more confused and less informed than before. Also, there is no mention that the main strength of a dumb network is when the data transfer speed is “high enough” to handle any data traffic load, you do not need any intelligent prioritization of data. Everything gets through as soon as the data transmit it so the network can afford to be simple and “dumb.” This means less expensive equipment, no monitoring of data types, and no fancy communications protocols to follow (KISS). This is why many people see “dumb” as a smart choice for a network.
