If he had said "bandwidth overload" instead instead of "tubes", he might have got more respect. //(Fred Tuttle is my hero.) I always thought Stevens was unjustly slammed for his too simple analogy.

You remember Tuttle from the movie Brazil? He can fix all that right up! hahaha OK, so it's time for Tuttle to come to the rescue!

Really? I would love to get in there, chop a single one (preferredly one in the middle) and leave. Good luck trying to find the faulty one ;) "I would just love to get in there and chop that all up!"

Guess some of those biggest original points turn out to be some of the biggest fallacies. My guess is that the system was designed like most any network only on a much bigger scale; there's no redundancy built in, but the modularity of the system makes it easy to replace failure points and reroute traffic.
