Merge tag[edit]

I removed the tag suggesting that this article be merged with Point-to-point_link because I merged the point-to-point link article with Link (telecommunications) since a point-to-point link is a type of telecommunications link. However, I left this article intact because it seems to have enough material to warrant an article of its own and I did not see exactly how to merge it with Link (telecommunications) nor did I see enough reason to do so either. I did, however, tag this article for not citing its sources because it doesn't :). --mlewis000 00:01, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here it is almost six years later. A new proposal to merge One-to-one (communication) into this one sounds good to me. That one seems another permastub. Sources would of course be good, but also better linkage and context. For example, saying it is "distinct" from peer-to-peer might be true, but best would be to clarify how it is distinct. I would say they are somewhat related in concept at some abstract level. Need to talk about Point-to-point protocol for example (which should be in proper noun caps if it refers to one specific protocol), and Network topology etc. W Nowicki (talk) 17:26, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand what One-to-one (communication) is trying to be about and have marked it with {{context}}. Until this is sorted out, I don't think it would be responsible to merge. ~KvnG 01:04, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Still no help understanding One-to-one (communication). Looks like garbage to me. I have WP:PRODed it. Please intervene if you believe otherwise. ~KvnG 14:24, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Point-to-point (telecommunications)[edit]

Sorry, but I totally disagree with you.

While you are basically talking about communications, you are missing the point (no pun intended) in relation to who or what that communication is between.

One-to-one communication has always inferred communication between two people.

We had a one-to-one conversation. We spoke on the phone, one-to-one. We exchanged one-to-one eMails.

Whereas, point-to-point infers non human or "people" communication or movement.

The train travels point-to-point between Sydney and Melbourne. The communication is point-to-point between the nodes. The message is sent point-to-point between devices.

Therefore I believe that the terms one-to-one and point-to-point are totally distinct and should definitely not be merged.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.173.234.109 (talk) 21:39, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
