That's true, and I am highly suspicious of the Internet! :-)
I believe it was in 1988 that the old 56kbps NSF network was
shut down. Ma Bell is my service provider. But yes, there is
no escaping! Someone told me that the TCP protocol data unit had an
urgent flag, the use of which is determined by the application
layer. If you set it, certain highly fault tolerent
routers in secret government locations, would handle that
packet and give it priority. That way if the Internet was
under a coordited effort to shut it down, either through the
use of viruses or massive phyical distruction of resources, the
government's packets would still get through, even if everyone elses
did not. I asked him if I found a way to set it, would my Web
pages load faster, and he said it was top secret and couldn't
talk about it. I told him, "if it's top secret, why the hell did you
bring it up in the first place?" Perhaps this belong over at
comp.protocols.* over even alt.lunatic.fringe.
