- gizmo686 14y agoCheck out the CloudFare article for a clearer description http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4850035 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4850035 The general principle is that all of Syria's traffic travels through 4 physical cables. Given this, it is relatively simple to disable all of the edge routers, so their is no path into or out of the country. Other countries may not be able to do this nearly as easily, because of having more redundancy, with some edges safe from the government.
