    It was created to make a communication network with no critical paths - so if you bomb/lose one network centre all other network traffic simply goes another way. And the messages do not go on predictable paths... This is why some emails take a mysteriously long time to arrive. A message sent from A to C will not always go via B, it could go via FTHJYTES!

    I have no source for this. An IT person told me. I will go and look for some evidence.
