Selective Shutdown Protects Nets Networks, including the Internet, are susceptible to cascade failures, which occur when nodes abruptly disconnect from the network. An effective defense is to knock out more nodes immediately after an initial failure. The key is picking the right nodes.   |

Shrink The Targets Human nature can better withstand a dozen small disasters than a single great one, even if the casualty total is the same. Protecting America's big targets is next to impossible; we should instead downsize them to make them less consequential and easier to protect. |

Big sites hoard links University of London researchers have uncovered another clue about the Internet's structure -- the rich-club phenomenon. Large, well-connected nodes have more links to each other than to smaller nodes, and smaller nodes have more links to the larger nodes than to each other. |

Study reveals Net's parts The Internet is rooted in the geopolitical boundaries of the real world -- its natural organization includes groupings that conform largely to national borders. Spaces between groupings are Internet fault lines that reveal where the global network is most vulnerable to splitting. apart. |
