"we find thenetwork has neither smoothly scaled nor catastrophically collapsed since average traffic grew to regularlyexceed dial-up modem bandwidth in August 2000. Instead, the network persists in a fragmented statecomprised of numerous continuously evolving responsive segments, the largest of which typicallycontains hundreds of hosts."
