Net Withstands Largest Ever Structural Assault - Study 
By Adam Creed, Newsbytes, 9/12/2001
<a href="http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/169998.html">http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/169998.html>

The Internet's infrastructure has withstood its biggest structural
attack to date, according to an Internet performance measurement
company. 
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. 
Matrix.Net is on the Web at http://www.matrix.net .
