You've neglected the CORE route to the UK. The DoD has recently been conducting experiments with this route around lunchtime on Wednsdays. example: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- traceroute to cs.ucl.ac.uk (128.16.6.4), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 * * * 2 orst-nwnet-gw.UCS.ORST.EDU (128.193.16.2) 10 ms 10 ms 10 ms 3 ogc-gwy.ogc.edu (129.95.20.54) 40 ms 30 ms 40 ms 4 130.42.46.6 (130.42.46.6) 70 ms 70 ms 70 ms 5 192.31.173.2 (192.31.173.2) 100 ms 110 ms 100 ms 6 Palo_Alto.CA.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.77.14) 120 ms 120 ms 120 ms 7 Salt_Lake_City.UT.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.79.13) 220 ms 200 ms 210 ms 8 Palo_Alto.CA.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.77.15) 220 ms 260 ms 260 ms 9 Salt_Lake_City.UT.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.79.13) 360 ms 360 ms 370 ms 10 Palo_Alto.CA.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.77.15) 400 ms 370 ms 330 ms 11 Salt_Lake_City.UT.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.79.13) 420 ms * 510 ms 12 Palo_Alto.CA.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.77.15) 670 ms 750 ms 770 ms 13 Salt_Lake_City.UT.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.79.13) 1240 ms 690 ms 550 ms 14 Palo_Alto.CA.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.77.15) 530 ms 570 ms 660 ms 15 Salt_Lake_City.UT.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.79.13) 680 ms 640 ms 650 ms 16 Palo_Alto.CA.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.77.15) 1360 ms 760 ms 710 ms 17 Salt_Lake_City.UT.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.79.13) 720 ms * 680 ms 18 Boulder.CO.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.71.15) 860 ms Salt_Lake_City.UT.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.79.13) 790 ms * 19 * La_Jolla,CA.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.6.11) 980 ms * 20 La_Jolla,CA.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.6.14) 1240 ms * 1370 ms 21 La_Jolla,CA.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.6.11) 1390 ms 1320 ms 1460 ms 22 192.35.180.1 (192.35.180.1) 90 ms !N La_Jolla,CA.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.6.14) 1900 ms * 23 La_Jolla,CA.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.6.11) 2090 ms * 1230 ms 24 * * * 25 * * * 26 Urbana_Champaign.IL.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.76.5) 480 ms 1010 ms 490 ms 27 Pittsburgh.PA.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.69.12) 570 ms Ithaca.NY.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.74.5) 650 ms Pittsburgh.PA.NSS.NSF.NET (122.52.1959.140.69.10) 620 ms 28 Ithaca.NY.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.74.5) 640 ms 610 ms 710 ms 29 Pittsburgh.PA.NSS.NSF.NET (129.140.69.10) 1080 ms 580 ms * 30 * * * --------------------------------------------------------------------------- By using Strict Source Routing to run packets around selected backbone sites a phased-array emitting ELF (read "earth penetrating") syncrotron radiation is created. This particular example emits a focused "pencil-beam" at Greenwich. Examples of "fan-beams" directed upwards have also been reported. Presumably these are Directed Information Energy tests. With capabilities like this, it's not hard to imagine reprogramming re-entry vehicles in flight to impact harmlessly in the ocean or Canada.
