why would routing break? PSI has several national connections that
get their Internet access through PSI. These national connections
have dozens of netorks each.
If all parties involved know about the connections and routes, OK it
will hold. We have had at least one case here in the Nordic countries
where traffic started to pass on the NORDUnet lines instead of on the
parallell link that was supposed to be used. The end network was also
connected to the R&D network in that country as well as the other
end-point was too.
I could easily imagine that the PTT:s that is opening up Internet
services together with Infolan providing the international
connectivity, interaconnections locally in Europe or elesewhere to the
local Internet networks, then you have it.
