obsolete/obsolescent network Explanation: Of a civilisation, מנוונת means "degenerate" but of a network I think either obsolete or obsolescent would do to indicate that it is out of date, no longer current. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-09-20 15:37:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A couple of examples: http://aceproject.org/main/english/et/etd06.htm http://www.cmcauk.co.uk/obsolescence_monitoring.php?gclid=CP... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-09-20 15:46:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- There is actually a concept of degeneracy in networking, so it is even possible that the correct translation may be "degenerate network" http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1148663.1148698 http://www.springerlink.com/content/j5727956q1637g33/ In fact, I think, in view of the choice of word in Hebrew, I now think it likely that the correct answer should be degenerate network. If you select my reply, please use "degenerate network" for the glossary entry. |
