One of the troubling things many of us learned last fall was that most of the long distance Internet trunks are logical trunks leased from the various phone companies without much regard to the physical path they take. Has any progress been made in determining the physical paths that the long distance ARPAnet (and more importantly Milnet) links take? Has progress been made in insuring the survivability of Internet communications if a backhoe cuts through a major AT&T fiber on the NY Thruway?
