<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hello</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have some questions regarding the APRS
IS</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>1. When two people connect to two different APRS IS
servers, how does the system know to let which packet through ? assuming each
station hear and gated RF ---> INET</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>2. What is the "recency" checking that goes on ? ie
sending packets too fast of the same payload ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>3. What happens when I gate RF ---> INET packets
that have already gone INET --- > RF</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My questions are more about the inner workings of
the APRS-IS and why it does not simply fall into a giant RF loop</FONT></DIV>
