Using this analogy, isn't a suitcase roughly equivalent to a packet? It's tagged with source/destination, and basically standardised so the routing gear doesn't need to care about the specific items you are routing.
- jstanley 11y agoThe analogy goes even further! At certain points along a route, deep packet inspection is performed, and some packets will be modified to remove contents that the country in question does not want to route.
- andrewingram 11y agoYou know, I think the analogy might actually be the wrong way round....
