There we go - reality bites.

The good side of this twist is that there is still
market out there for switches and routers :-)

I imagine we shall see more and more of these outages and
they will get harder to contain. Imagine, projects like
SETI and the ones to find the largest prime numbers etc
rely a lot on a collaborative of volunteered machines that
span the whole continent. Should a hacker gain access to
'em and is smart enough to not blow it all away in one go --
OUCH!

It's a design flaw.

Thanks
