That's the idea behind any distributed network. If you drove a pole
into your head, you will cause damage, but you would still be able
to live, unless you hit one of a number of critical 'network hubs'
Gang, the tcp-ip protocol was designed to survive a
nuclear war.
Assuming
there is ANY connectivity going around a hypothetically
disrupted/destroyed
major network hub, the packets should find it. Of
course that link
won't
handle the bandwidth, but in theory the net would still
*work*.
