Comment Once I worked at a major Internet router (Score 1) 17
Many people do not realize the Internet's foundation relys heavily on a small number of routers located throughout the world. One such router (I am not at liberty to give details) I was assigned the task of maintaining. As most of you know, the connectionless UDP protocol is used with DNS and ARP to avoid the overhead of setting up a virtual tunnel, sending a small bit of data, and destroying it. However, my boss accidently typed "tcp" rather than "udp". You can't imagine how many connections we had in a matter of minutes!
