What Would It Take to Shut Down the Entire Internet?
- ratsmack 7y agoIt seems to me that it wouldn't be that difficult. There are only a few major backbones that would need to be eliminated, and the rest of the internet would crush the remaining portion with sheer volume of unhandled traffic. We've seen rather minor line cuts that have hobbled large portions of the internet, which causes me to believe the internet in its current form is still pretty fragile.
