what about the vulnerability of someone just coming along
and knocking you off your computer and then using it?

because you can't just walk up to a core BGP backbone router
and "pull the power cord out"

this doesn't refer to PCs, but mainly the BGP high level
multi-backbone protocol that computes A.S. and routes
between backbone routers.....The BGP protocol sends router
updates, and A.S. information via a TCP session.

If this session is hijacked and RST (reset), then you can
get link flaps.

And well, it's not good to have core backbones flapping
links (and thus computing new route table informatoin)

meh, looks under control tho

I just walked up to one of the primary DNS root top level
domain servers and unplugged the power cable.

>_>
