This description was written by a machine and published without a person checking it. It is what the agent made of this grouping, and not a statement anybody has stood behind.
Who the Internet depends on
A subject the papers are about. The loosest grouping, and the one to reach for last.
Measurement rather than attack: where the traffic actually goes, and how few places carry it. Collects studies of internet exchange points, route servers, transit concentration and the physical and organisational chokepoints traffic passes through. The theme is structural fragility established by measurement; works arguing an adversary's capability belong in the attack sets instead.
