 The UKHASnet Network Structure is similar to the APRS system used by Amateur Radio. In that there is no collision detection, no retransmission, and no Error Correction. The UKHASnet Network Structure is similar to the APRS system used by Amateur Radio.

-* All packets are unreliable, like UDP on Computer Networks. A collision with another transmitted packet, or a burst of interference at the wrong moment may cause your packet to be lost in the network as if it never existed.+  * All packets are unreliable, like UDP on Computer Networks.
