Norway, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, Danmark, Finland are regarded as the worlds top IT nations based upon their levels of IT and knowlegd wich is undisputed for the last 10 years.
You dispute that? Based on what? Magazines? Blogs? Forums? or is this a personal opinion?
As iam in IT/ICT for the past 9 years.
We could discus this in detail but that would take forever so lets make this short ok?
VOIP, Telecom, Internet, Wireless just a few catagories where these countries shine.
Also the demand for software based platforms is skyrocketing, due the fact that everything has to be faster, more secure and more user friendly.
The start of the internet or as it use to be called "ARPA Network" has been researched and exploited beyond most peoples wildest dreams in both good and bad ways.
And still there are years and years we can spend in innovation and research of new applications and systems.
Iam not saying that the US is dumb, nor am i saying that they are decades behind.
What iam saying is that due the size of the US and due the many private networks / ISP companies and the lack of some of them to upgrade their network to at least tier 3 (Average networks in the US are tier 1 and tier 2 while EU standards are tier 5 and some countries even tier 6) They just cannot hit the EU standards overnight.
I mean unless they have a few hundered billion flying around lol.
So what iam saying is that the US certainly has the knowlegd and the skill to create/ maintain and support tier 6 networks and tier 6 infrastructure but the nodes, mainlines, datacenters and and and so on...they are just not ready for it so they cannot support it yet.
This does not mean that a private network lets say for example nasa or national defence cannot have tier 6 or higher, agree?
What iam talking about is nationwide and not limited to private networks, multilayer networks, internal and external datacenters.
The US aint ready yet to reach that level nation wide, while the noted nations in my previous post are for the most part beyond tier 5 or higher, wich allow them to use more advanced applications, systems and so on.
Anyway the comment you made about AMX just made me laugh.
AMX is atm the second largest node on this planet, and it has a unmatched record in terms of security, speed, innovation and uptime.
Nothing to discus here just facts.
Amsterdam Internet Exchange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As it is the second largest node, its also a very great spot to start filtering "bad traffic"
Wich brings me to your next comments:
please explain further. this doesn't make any sense.
sounds like basic application layer processing of ip packets
As i said AMX is the second largest node where huge amounts of data are being transported, monitored.
The security around this node is unmatched, tested and proven the so called application layer processing of ip packets goes alittle further than that just a little lol.
The AMX node is known trough out the ICT community worldwide as the masterminded fortress.
I wonder why that is?
The TNO project i was refering to starts where the current AMX security meets its limits as it is older.
But ill suggest that you readup on the net about it as iam not going to spend hours explaining the whole thing.
As for the rest of your comments, faster internet, higher tier networks allow differend kind of dangers and more advanced high speed attacks upon a network.
The higher the tier level of a network/ ICT infrastucture the higher and more advanced the attacks will be upon your networks. As higher tier layer networks allow new security options but it also opens up more and newer problems wich the older systems do not face as they just are not advanced enough to be affected by such high level coding and cyber attacks....see my point?
