That's not how routing works.
alright this is the Iran thread not the networking thread so Ill make this one last post as I feel its worth the casual education.
Id also like to let it be known if your intentionally trying to bait me by replying to the one part of my response that was over simplified to the point I used quotes around the term to identify it was being used in a non traditional context you hit gold it made me instantly annoyed.
lets learn some basic networking concepts
this is know as Bus line network Topology, you will notice it looks kinda like a bus stop, think of those blue nodes as computers, servers, repeaters, APs, it could be any networked device.
this next one is known as mesh network topology. you will notice the lack of terminators and its multiple redundant connection points, these are nodes connected to t other nodes, if you have a multi base wifi 6 or 7 router/modem setup then you have a SOHO mesh network.
so I ask you again, when you look at this imagine, what does it look like? the answer might be confusing cause of how many lines there are but try and logic it out
the end points are the "terminators"
this is what I meant in my OG post about how we have a world wide internet set up on a bus network topology with the trappings of a mesh one, there are "redundant" connections but they were not MADE for redundancy, they were made as bus line connections that over time have begun to have the rough appearance of a mesh network if you squint but its NOT.
When I said "rerouted" I meant if you cut one of those cords you could be asking modern packets to go through much older architecture with the same amount of volume, the amount of water dosent change but you have lost one of your hoses so now the same amount of "water" is being pushed down less pipes, that might just not work or "burst the pipes" does that make sense?
Once again ill remind everyone this is hypothetical, we can simulate this but we are not quite sure how systems will react depending on what lines are cut, its like trying to simulate all the worlds data movement is like asking to try and simulate what tomorrow will be like EXACTLY.
to all sysadmins and your ilk if you feel there is a better way to explain what im getting at here please enlighten me.
