The move away from peer-to-peer has its virtues, but much is left unanswered.
It has been a slow transition, but Skype is finalizing its move away from a peer-to-peer system to a cloud-based one.
Report: Army Special Ops Ditches Android for iPhone
It has been a slow transition, but Skype is finalizing its move away from a peer-to-peer system to a cloud-based one.
When it was first created, the Skype network was built as a decentralized peer-to-peer system. PCs that had enough processing power and bandwidth would be elected as "supernodes" and used to coordinate connections between other machines on the network. Similarly, text, voice, and video traffic would flow between peers, directly when possible (when intervening firewalls and routers were cooperative) or indirectly through other systems on the network when required.
A report by DoD Buzz suggests the current Samsung handset isn't up to par.
But the Samsung device currently powering the Android TAC isn't
cutting it, according to DoD Buzz; it freezes and has to be restarted
too often, an anonymous Army source told the tech news site. Apple's
iPhone, meanwhile, is "faster [and] smoother"—ideal for use with
split-screen military software, said a person "not authorized to speak
to the media."
