Matrix.Net, which analyzes Net traffic at thousands of critical Internet nodes, said that damage to telecommunications and Internet infrastructure following the collapse of the World Trade Center's twin towers in New York immediately caused a drop in Internet connectivity. The company's graphical analysis revealed a spike in packet loss and the inaccessibility of many major Web sites. But the company says data shows the nation's main Internet infrastructure, nodes and backbones quickly returned to close to normal, allowing Americans to communicate online and gain access to news and services. The popularity of news Web sites, however, continued to affect Internet performance during the day, Matrix.Net said, adding that their outages were generally because servers couldn't handle the increased traffic. "The Internet was designed to withstand stresses and it is currently functioning well under the greatest stress encountered over its 32-year history (including predecessor networks)," the company said, in a statement Tuesday night. The FBI's National Infrastructure Protection Center has yet to issue any alerts, advisories, or assessments of the terrorist attack's effects on the nation's Internet infrastructure.
