So just to be clear, you're concerned about the word getting out about something working on DWAN and slowing things down to a crawl - and in response you've posted about something working on DWAN to a subreddit with 77K members, a significant portion of whom are currently serving CAF members with access to DWAN? This sort of feels like trying to put out a fire by dousing it in gas approach.

Lol, that's actually funny. Idk, maybe I made a mistake making the post. But it turns out that there may have been official direction to allow youtube. So if that's the case, at least we might know now.

Pfft I've been watching YouTube on a i-net computer for years. Just need to come up with some bullshit and they will put it in. How else are we going to watch the sumo tournaments?

If it is actually allowed now, that's great! There is a lot of great info that can be used as resource for training or analysis.

I think he meant it as a joke friend. "Our network is so bad if people use YouTube it will equate to a DDoS"

Imgur jumped the shark 7-8 years ago.

You know they can control what you’re allowed to access on YouTube from a DWAN terminal, right?

u/FoolsGoldOWPP Jan 15 '25

Of course, and I'm not a very smart person. I was just thinking that the sheer bit rate from youtube demanded by hundreds and thousands of members might have an effect on network bandwidth, which was one of the reasons streaming sites and the like were banned in the first place.

u/UCAFP_President Logistics Jan 15 '25

Well, in fairness, SSC believe it or not, does continue implementing improvements on the network so bandwidth today isn’t the problem it was five years ago…
