Without revealing too much about the architecture, I can tell you that 
it would need to be a significant fraction of the supernodes (due to how 
node-supernode mapping works in these types of P2P systems), the relay 
nodes (not mentioned) *and* the login servers. Not all of which are 
deployed and controlled by Skype, of course, as recent press about the 
most recent outage has reiterated for those who didn't know.
