[QUOTE="1krr, post: 2685092, member: 750"] I thnk I would get more sh*t done around the house. ;) In reality, it would be a pretty big impact to some commerce and convienence and there would be some harm. I don't think it would be nearly as bad as power going out because with power, people would loose nearly all over their core infrastructure (refrigeration, water from well or municipal systems that use pumps, sewage treatment, etc). Plus I think the definition of "internet" in the US is very different than in North Korea. NK only has a hand full of routable IP addresses (4 /24s iirc) and another couple netblocks resold to them from China. They have a pretty small and well defined entry and exit points from the country so it's easier to target a hand full of routers to take down. As far as the internet goes, the US looks more like a plate of speghetti with connections everywhere. You could attempt to target transoceanic nodes to take down connections between US and Europe or US and Asia but even that would be pretty difficult. Internally to the US, you would have to pull down every system operator there is. Even my little rural operator is peering with 10 different other systems (networks, ISPs, etc). One of them is Cox for example so even if Cox lost everything except my isp, they could transit that network to get out. The more peers you take down, the more the remaining links become saturated which means that customers would experience ever increasing magnitudes of slowness but in a national emergancy, an ISP could null route heavy users like Netflix, Amazon, etc to ensure bandwidth is there for critical service components. Would suck since I only use streaming services but I could go without a Walking Dead binge and finish this damn baseboard install and the wifey would be happier for it! [/QUOTE]
