Hi
Soweit die Theorie. Technisch passiert das aber so gut wie nie. Es ist ein Mythos, daß die Routingtabellen in einem zB für den Download einer Webseite relevanten Zeitraum ständig geändert werden; dieser Mythos stammt noch aus der Zeit des Arpanets und sollte damals die technische Überlegenheit des Netz bei Ausfällen durch militärische Angriffe stärken.
Soweit der Mythos.
"Misconceptions of design goals
Common ARPANET lore posits that the computer network was designed to survive a nuclear attack. In A Brief History of the Internet, the Internet Society describes the coalescing of the technical ideas that produced the ARPANET:
It was from the RAND study that the false rumor started, claiming that the ARPANET was somehow related to building a network resistant to nuclear war. This was never true of the ARPANET, only the unrelated RAND study on secure voice considered nuclear war. However, the later work on Internetting did emphasize robustness and survivability, including the capability to withstand losses of large portions of the underlying networks
[..]
The ARPANET was not started to create a Command and Control System that would survive a nuclear attack, as many now claim. To build such a system was, clearly, a major military need, but it was not ARPA’s mission to do this; in fact, we would have been severely criticized had we tried. Rather, the ARPANET came out of our frustration that there were only a limited number of large, powerful research computers in the country, and that many research investigators, who should have access to them, were geographically separated from them"

Wenn du mir jetzt noch erklärst, wie ich meine Packerl auf ihren zurückgelegten Weg hin untersuchen kann, wäre ich dir EWIG dankbar :)
