[[Host]] would be a better term, but it's overloaded in ways that are useful sometimes, confusing at other times. | [[Host]] would be a better term, but it's overloaded in ways that are useful sometimes, confusing at other times. | ||
So there is actually no correct term for this that means only this other than perhaps [[switch]] which implies dedicated hardware used in a phone or other data network - which eventually is where all such server box functions will likely be located, that aren't distributed via a [[Consumerium protocol]]. | So there is actually no correct term for this that means only this other than perhaps [[switch]] which implies dedicated hardware used in a phone or other data network - which eventually is where all such server box functions will likely be located, that aren't distributed via a [[Consumerium protocol]]. | ||
In the long run, with a fully [[Distributed Consumerium]], there may be no need for dedicated boxes, [[server]]s may run transiently on many computers and it may only really be telecom switches that constitute bottlenecks for the [[healthy buying infrastructure]] - that is, there would really be no extra vulnerability for [[Consumerium Services]] versus the rest of the [[healthy signal infrastructure]] and [[Consumerium maintenance]] would be taken over as part of the [[Internet Service]] itself, with no need for [[Central Services]]. | |||
There might still be a need to arrange with a [[guild]] or [[consultant]] to solve special problems and identify bottlenecks that keep the [[Consumerium Buying Network]] from expanding, and, some of these might require some "boxes" to be added here and there. At that point we'd call this a [[reflector box]]. | |||
