True enough Jorge, however, we need full-orbed perspective here....it's not merely beating a dead horse; as far as topic goes, it is purely edification in the nth degree, manner, fashion. This is the lingua franca of this forum, and those who chose to read it, or not. Not merely pointed dialogue or geek speaks for the consummate net head ideologue. After all, iron sharpens iron. Demagoguery gives rise to elitism. No demonization here. You're ok. :-) Cheerio, Jay Murphy IP Network Specialist NM Department of Health ITSD - IP Network Operations Santa Fe, New Mexico 87502 Bus.

"Earth is a single point of failure."
On top of that, one basic principle of telecommunications: No matter how much diversity and path redundancy, tons of concrete or titanium sealed fiber vaults you have, in the data exchange between points A and B there will be always two single points of failure: A and B. IMHO, this thread is getting way off topic, boring and useless. Fiber cut is over, there will be many more, move on ...
