Risk of Internet collapse grows

  • From: Irwin Lazar
  • Date: Tue Nov 26 23:28:42 2002

Thought this might be worth passing on:
 
There is a recent book out called "Linked: The New Science of Networks" which details the potential for causing widespread Internet damage by targeting a few hubs instead of random or widespread attacks against large numbers of hosts.  This simulation seems to backup the author's concerns.
