[aklug] Re: Stop Online Piracy Act, a.k.a., Internet blacklist bill

I just don't see how they are going to do this without modifying the =
client TCP/IP stack. Basically they want to turn every node into a =
router with added software to monitor the network and reroute in case of =
outage. Not sure how they are going to do that with a stated goal of =
making a regular TCP/IP stack work with it. Also I am concerned with =
Overhead on the client machine.
