Thus, I removed the CUTOFF method from my web<br>
page, because the only place that really needed it<br>
was the LA basin and although it looks like it <br>
can be set to one or two hops, that is really missleading<br>
because every packet going through a CUTOFF digi<br>
will go no further. Meaning a 2 hop can come in,<br>
but a 2 hop cannot go out.<br><br>
So I wonder if this is really a "CUTOFF" digi as that<br>
nomenclature was originally used, or if he simply<br>
meas that RELAY and WIDE will be "cutoff" on that<br>
date.<br><br>

Well Bob, now you have me really confused. You listed K5FTW-5 in your
list of "too busy" digipeaters. Now you say CUTOFF was just for
LA and you have removed it from your webpage. Well just minutes ago I
copied this:<br><br>

<pre>Settings for HIGH DENSITY WIDEn-N DIGIPEATERS (CUTOFF
Solution) 5 May 05
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This CUTOFF solution is a drastic approach to cutting off out of area
large N traffic. As more an more areas adopt the New-N-Paradigm
and
begin trapping our large values of N at their source, this CUTOFF
solution
will not typically be needed.

based on the fact that the mobile got digipeated all the way from Texas
to Chicago, maybe we shouldn't change anything. If we do we will see less
packets digipeated - a lot of it from the fact that people haven't
changed their paths and will then be orphaned - yes because they haven't
kept themselves abreast of the changes - but orphaned non the
less.<br><br>
Yes, I had planned to implement true CUTOFF for K5FTW-5, now I don't know
if I will or maybe just leave it alone until you change your mind
AGAIN!!!!! I am sorry if I sound bitter, but I think this is part of the
reason that more digis haven't been changed up to this point.<br><br>
