Russian analogue of TCP/IP. Let's overtake America by inventing the triangular wheel

Hello.

You perceive some things as a kind of broken phone, as it is serious to discuss them

impossible.For example, the information that some Russian company offered to replace the TCP / IP protocol suite with some Russian developments that are “better” slipped past me briefly. It sounds about as delusional as the rejection, for example, of the Latin alphabet as such, the transition to Cyrillic only. You don't even need to develop anything here, everything is already there. But in the case of TCP / IP, it is the universal language of the Internet, which allows different machines to communicate with each other, guaranteed to find a common language and interact. The protocols are not the most advanced, but are common in all devices, operating systems, and just work.

In order not to play the damaged phone yourself,turned to the source, found a note on the Kremlin website, which contains an interlinear communication between the President of Russia and representatives of companies developing unmanned aerial systems. You can find the text here.

Let's read together what exactly is proposed, the transcript of the speech is quite eloquent in itself.

D. Peskov: Vladimir Vladimirovich, of course, we are tryingLooking ahead, we understand that in an industry where hundreds of thousands of vehicles are constantly in the air, a key issue for the long term is safety. Security needs to be addressed at the deepest level - at the level of our own standards and, of course, at the level of using our own space systems. Russia has its own grouping and its own communication standard, now they [standards] are all in the American database - TCP / IP, the Internet, they originate from there. And colleagues have such a very ambitious project to solve this problem.

I would like to give the floor to Alexander Vladimirovich Selyutin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Technojet group of companies. Please.

A. Selyutin: Hello, Vladimir Vladimirovich! Hello colleagues!

My name is Selyutin Alexander Vladimirovich. I am a technology entrepreneur and head of the Technojet group of companies.

The volume of investments in technological projectscompanies - more than six billion rubles. We have developed and certified a small six-seat aircraft, a production site for which with an area of ​​15,000 square meters was built by us in Nizhny Novgorod.

A technological solution has been developed thatallows the platformless production of small satellites for the first time in the world, so far no one has repeated it. This development was made back in 2016.

The company is currently developingspace systems are also unmanned aerial vehicles. Three heavy unmanned aerial vehicles with a payload capacity of 200, 500 and 1000 kilograms with an original modular design and electric motors of our own design and production are under development.

To date, we have begun to develop a control system for these devices and a communication modem that will work on our own communication protocol.

Realizing that the Russian Federation is dependent onforeign technological information and telecommunications solutions, ten years ago we took the initiative to develop our own stack of technologies that will create an independent Russian information and communication space. We called this project “Internet from Russia”.

The foundation of our technological solutionsare our own data transfer protocols, the implementation of which will allow us to abandon the use of the American TCP / IP network protocol stack, on which, in principle, we all work now, and high-speed technology for receiving and transmitting data based on low-orbit satellites. In 2016, we developed in hardware and tested all the main technological blocks that are necessary to create a broadband satellite communication system.

In 2018, an interdepartmentalcommission, the two-month results of which led to the recommendation of the state corporation Roscosmos to join our efforts in the development of satellite communication systems.

To date, we have not yet reached thisbut we understand that the creation of a Russian global system of satellite communications and navigation with the technologies that we have developed will give a multiplier effect for the development and technological leap of our Motherland.

Based on government resources, thesetechnological solutions, we are ready in the shortest possible time to create cooperation necessary for the speedy production and deployment of both terrestrial and satellite communication segments of the Internet from Russia project. According to our calculations, the deployment will take from one and a half to five years.

We ask for your support in the implementation of this strategic project for the country.

V. Putin: What exactly needs to be done?

A. Selyutin: Specifically, funding is needed, a decision is needed to approve, at least on an equal footing, the Russian communication protocol with American network protocols.

V. Putin: Do you see any preferences for foreigners here?

A. SelyutinA: I see preferences, of course.Why? Because the experience of communicating with Roskomnadzor, Rostelecom, and other organizations shows that the entire system that has been formed today works on the American network protocol stack. Therefore, we are constantly information dependent, therefore we have to defend ourselves, encrypt our data, this is a constant process.

Since this whole system is formed for this processing, something new is a challenge. Against this challenge, I am unable to resist.

V. Putin: It's clear. As it has developed since the 90s, it continues.

A. Selyutin: As it happened, so it goes. Anything new that is offered is immediately swept aside.

V. Putin: Yes. Or you need to go there, to that site.

A. Selyutin: Or you need to go to that site, really, just like that.

Although, in terms of parameters, we finished testing the Russian protocol in December 2022 at the 16th Institute of the Ministry of Defense - I don’t know if we can talk about this or not.

V. PutinA: Already said. The word will fly out - you will not catch it.

A. Selyutin: The results showed that we are doing better thanTCP/IP on the network. I'll give you a number. If the delay or loss of packets in TCP occurs at a rate of one percent, then TCP recovers these packets within 360 seconds. We restore - 5.7 seconds.

V. Putin: Maxim Stanislavovich, also talk to your colleagues, then report all this to me separately. We must help them.

M. Oreshkin: Eat.

V. Putin: Necessarily. Because if you really have more advanced proposals, your own, then, of course, you need to do everything to support them. Of course, but how?

A. Selyutin: Thank you, Vladimir Vladimirovich.

V. Putin: This is technological sovereignty, and better competitiveness, and independence. Certainly.

A. Selyutin: And it is guaranteed to provide the market, the entire aviation sector and unmanned aerial vehicles with stable communications.

V. Putin: Absolutely agree. Therefore, I ask my assistant [Maxim Oreshkin]. He will work with you and meet you.

A. Selyutin: Thanks a lot.

V. Putin: Then together we will decide what specific steps need to be taken. We will definitely help.

Citation of this sentence in the industry,perhaps one of the highest, people sincerely make fun of the Russian "development" and the above text. It is important to make a reservation here that the president of the country does not have to be a specialist in every industry, it is simply impossible physically. The work of the relevant ministries and departments is to filter proposals, including developments, to single out those that can actually give results, to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Saturday coffee #248

Pour a cup of invigorating Saturday coffee andcheck out the news of the week. Sales of the TECNO folding smartphone have started, realme has brought a new device, Haval M6 will appear in dealers in the summer, and KFC restaurants are changing their sign...

Skoda Karoq test. For home, for family

Skoda Karoq compact crossover sales inRussia began in February 2020, and already in the summer, according to Avtostat, the novelty entered the TOP-10 most popular SUVs and the TOP-25 best-selling cars in Russia.

The return of mechanics? Clamshells, rotators, sliders and others

We recall what developments of folding mechanical devices were once carried out by the industry leader, we analyze which solutions are partially implemented now.

Why is the replacement of TCP / IP today, to put it mildly,impossible? The answer lies in how communication systems are arranged, they all work on this protocol. In any piece of hardware, drivers support TCP / IP, any operating system, whether desktop or mobile, also works with a stack of these protocols. In fact, dropping TCP / IP means a simple thing - that we need to replace all the equipment that is in the country and put in something new. Where we get support for our protocol in equipment that is 99% foreign is not very clear. How will we change this support in installed equipment and communication systems?

Imagine this analogy:some person comes out and says that the wheel was invented by the Americans, and we are forced to use it. Therefore, we came up with a “wheel” of a different shape, it makes a turn faster, looks more reliable, and most importantly, it will be ours! In the process of integrating Russian “wheels”, it is necessary to cut out arches under them in cars, since otherwise they cannot be installed. Engines and electronics are tuned to ordinary wheels, it is impossible to change them in existing cars, and manufacturers quite often ignore our “achievement”. Inventing your own wheel only brings problems and causes ridicule from others. But on the other hand, Russian cars will be immediately noticeable on the roads, they cannot be confused with anything. Moreover, for intruders, they will become a bright, highly visible target.

I will allow myself one quote from the text, it is very important: “Because the experience of communicating with Roskomnadzor, with Rostelecom, with other organizations shows that the entire system that has been formed today, works on the American stack of network protocols. Therefore, we are constantly information dependent, therefore we have to defend ourselves, encrypt our data, this is a constant process.".

Highlight what I think is important.The Internet and communication systems are designed in such a way that data encryption is necessary in them, consider this digital hygiene. Data encryption is not directly related to TCP / IP protocols, IP packets are transmitted over the network. The data itself may or may not be encrypted, but the fact is that protocols serve to transmit it. It is always necessary to encrypt data for all tasks, whether it be satellites or human data that he uses to watch movies on the network or send email messages.

I really do not understand how we are information dependentfrom American network protocols. They cannot be disabled for a single country, such an opportunity is simply not provided. The beauty of the Internet lies in the fact that it is difficult or almost impossible to break it for a single country. For us, this is a blessing, as it guarantees the stability of the infrastructure (plus the work carried out to protect against external threats). Now we are offered to abandon the common standard, to make us vulnerable to external attacks.

Speaking of developing new technologies, we need toparticipate in international groups dedicated to them. But in the absence of strong developers, there is always no place for Russia in them, our contribution to these technologies simply does not exist. Maybe start simple and create an industry that will be visible and important, take simple steps? In 2018-2020, Huawei actively participated in the promotion of New IP, which is how the company named its proposals for the evolution of the TCP/IP stack. Find Huawei's explanation of how things should work here.

The New IP critics' objections were framed inpolitical style that a new set of protocols could ensure control by states over certain means of communication. Although Huawei, on the contrary, emphasized that the task of New IP is to avoid the concentration of tools for controlling communications in the hands of companies or states, to create an independent, secure protocol. The question here is who do you trust more, the communists from China or the capitalists of America and Europe. I think that the reality is much simpler - the introduction of one or another set of protocols leads to high costs for its integration into new devices and software. The country that contributes the most to the development of such protocols may benefit. And this is exclusively a struggle in the field of business, to some extent turning into a political plane.

I sincerely do not understand how one can seriously discuss the invention of the bicycle without having any prerequisites for this. I got into the description of the Technojet group of companies, this is what I found on the net:

"Aircraft building enterprise" Technojet "carries out a full cycle of production of aviation equipment: development, certification, production of parts and assemblies, final assembly of aircraft, UAVs and their testing.

The group of companies has twodesign offices in Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow. A new aircraft manufacturing enterprise has been built in Nizhny Novgorod, which carries out a full cycle of serial production of aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles and high-speed craft. Test flights are carried out from the airfield jointly based with RAC "MiG" "Sormovo". The design bureau, located in Moscow, specializes in the development of electric power plants and unmanned aerial vehicles.”

I try to always think well about people, soI think that in Technojet they just dream about new technologies, not understanding how the Internet works, how communications work. This is not their profile, they are simply not of this world.

I have another pressing question:how did it become possible that such issues are brought to the level of the president of Russia, take time, then are considered by officials, and again it takes time that needs to be spent on completely different things? That's one of the problems - that such ideas pass through the primary sieve. And this idea can be safely called false, we as a country today do not have the slightest chance to replace network protocols. But the most important thing is that there is no point in such a replacement. You can inflate the story from this speech, draw some general conclusions, but I will not do that. I would like to believe that this is a special case, and not a systemic problem. But in any case, one must carefully choose what is being discussed at such a high level.

Pre-installation of Russian OS on all computers. Bill of the Ministry of Digital Development

How they will try to force retail to install Russian operating systems on computers, but it will not do this. A problem for buyers, imaginary achievements for officials. Let's go into the details of the issue.
