So this is very interesting, and we've kind of moved to a separate use case, and I love it. And that is where you're gathering. So we talked about, you've got a bunch of data somewhere, and you're gonna put it out there, you're gonna cache it so things are faster. But the other thing is happening now, and that's really important. First of all, yes, bandwidth has gotten amazing. But also, I've got, you know when I brag, but I've got a 4K camera in my pocket right now, capable of streaming 4K video, right? And they are literally everywhere. And so, if you need to process large amounts of data, quickly, you don't have time to do that. So that's another use for Edge. Do you have any favorite use cases? The security camera is a good one. Any other favorite use cases for that sort of processing at the Edge? You know, one of the things that I've been, that I was really amused with, is like a lot of driving examples. Traffic management, traffic cams, car cams, right? And somebody told me once, that without being able to do analytics at the Edge, with all of the incoming information from all of the different autos, and what was happening during rush hour, think Beijing rush hour, the cameras and all of that information going back raw into the overall highway management system, it looks like a denial of service attack. You know, right? Because there's millions of people that are driving and trying to go navigate traffic. And so that filtration, that what is the really high priority data and what data do we not need to keep? What can we keep local? What is really important to feed back up in the stream is also something that really helps. And part of the reason is because downstream traffic, so the CDN, I take a movie and then I distribute it, that was configured to be 10 times as much bandwidth and speed as the uplink. Right, of course. People weren't really thinking about uploading video when the networks were designed. And so it's a really important way that you can sift and sort and keep that uplink clean for the information that really matters.
