<h3>Tier 1</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Tier 1 sites are decentralized, mesh connected, top-level hosts. These are primarily run by a committee of
|
|
shell providers and tilde networks. Tier 1 servers are considered the backbone of the UUCP network. However,
|
|
if a member organization chooses not to particpate, it doesn't unilaterally affect the tolerance of the network
|
|
as a whole.
|
|
<p>
|
|
In order to become a Tier 1 site, it must have the following qualifications:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Dedicated IP infrastructure</li>
|
|
<li>Reliable server hosting</li>
|
|
<li>Not be part of a commercial organization</li>
|
|
<li>Be willing and active participant in the UUCP steering comittee</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
While the UUCP network is for everyone, including those in the retro scene, running a Tier 1 UUCP site from a retro machine is
|
|
discouraged. However, there are leaf sites running on retro hardware.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
While the aim of the UUCP network is to democratize and decentralize it's services, nothing precludes a member from running its
|
|
Tier 1 site on a cloud based provider, so long as that provider does not receive any monetized benefits for hosting it. Requesting
|
|
donations from users to maintain services, however, is perfectly fine.
