How familiar are you with how the Internet works? If you read any recent DS papers you'd notice that Tier-1 ASes follow a power law distribution. You'd only have to shut down a handful of peering ASes to cripple BGP routing in the US.
- jemfinch 16y agoThe thing that makes those ASes Tier-1 is that they have so many peering points. You seem to be presuming that they're as easy to shut down as cutting the power to a few POPs, but they're not. How many POPs would you have to take out to stop Americans from getting to Google?
