Why the internet is not only 500% too slow but also in a crisis: Follow this thread to read about it in just 5 Steps.

1. The Internet is structured by different layers: Physical Network (underground cables) Data-Link (WiFi/Lan) and Network Layer (IP-Adresses). You can picture this as the infrastructure of the internet.
2. Problem: We have too much traffic. More and more devices are trying to drive on the metaphorical streets (Computer, Smartphones, your refrigerator, #IoT's etc.), but if the streets are full of cars, it will cause traffic jams aka a #Bandwidthcrisis.
2.1. So what we tried to do in order to make this work was to widen the streets and to raise the speedlimit. So more Data can travel faster at certain Point of time.
2.2. But although we are using #fiberopticcables, which allow #data to travel almost in #lightspeed, we still one main problem: We are physically limited by the #bandwidth of these cables.
3. So if we don’t have any speed limit anymore (because we are at max with lightspeed) and we can’t have bigger highways; what we should do is to A. build new cars and to make them faster and B. the need to travel less. And that’s what @Sentivate is doing.
4. The #WorldwideWeb #WWW today is #inefficient in these two matters: A. The "cars" (= the way data is transported) are too old and B. the “need to travel" (= the nessecary communication between two devices in order to make a connection.) too much.
4. A. The WWW uses protocols which are almost 40 years old like #HTTP, #TCP, and others. These protocols seem like american cars from the 80’s which are big&slow. But today we could go much smaller&faster by just writing a new #protocol instead of adding stuff on the old ones.
4. B. The need to travel: Before any requested information is delivered in the WWW the “cars” need to go 3 times back and forth to build a connection. If every device is doing so for anything that’ll occupy a lot of #bandwidth. And that’s the case today!
5. Now what’s the solution?
UW #APPs are using #UDSP through which it is possible that they are building a connection while they are delivering the data. And that’s one reason - which starts in the logic - that makes the #UW 500-700% faster than today.
