[citation][nom]memadmax[/nom]Bunch of BS.This is just another attack on open ended free speech of the internet(aka your Freedom).Here's why:1. The military is completely immune to anything that goes on in the internet(even shutdowns). They use entirely different networking protocols, languages, security algorithms, physical networks, sat's, etc etc. That includes high level government transmissions.... I know this. I was in the military. These guys are hardcore.2. The boogey man tactic of saying that a errant virus can shutdown the electric grid is BS. Last I heard it still takes a man, or woman, to open that valve or throw that switch, at a power plant.3. The FCC has been openly attacking the internet since day 1 of obama's inauguration. Control the information, Control the sheeple....4. And most important who's business is it that the government has a say in how to control a *PRIVATE* Network?????? Last I heard, NONE.[/citation]
The vast majority of the traffic on the DISN Core (aka - the DoD private network that is world wide) is plain old TCP/IP traffic man...that is unclassified (NIPRnet), secret (SIPRnet), and top secret (JWICS) data all flying around in standard networking protocols....not sure where you got that they use custom protocols. Encryption yes, redefining network design and behavior, no
