Subject: Re: [IP] A Brittle Internet Reply-To: bob.hinden () nokia com Dave, For IP.To reinforce Ran's note about the brittleness of today's internet, I came across this today:
"A special Halloween edition of the Renesys Blog: That which was whole is now torn asunder, and cries of grief ring out throughout the land. Cogent (AS174) and Sprint (AS1239) are no longer connected to each other. Customers of each network who do not have other providers— namely single-homed customers—cannot reach each other. Two large portions of the Internet are separated."
