The Only Really Open Net Is The Really Stupid Net !

Nisse Husberg, Dr.Techn.

Many claim to have an ”open access network” structure but in reality
this is not true in most cases. There are all kinds of limitations for
the openness.

Definition of Open Network

An open net cannot be compared to a telephone exchange (even with
digital packets). It must rather be compared to the Post office where
the packets are sent to the right destination no matter what they
contain. There are some technical limitations on weight and bulk (data
packet length) but in general the Post distributes anything.

An open access network should have no limitations for the access to
any service of any kind anywhere in the Internet. There must be no
limitations of IP addresses to connect to, protocols used or ports
used.
