What kind of internet backbone failover system exists in Ireland to ensure connection is not totally lost? [This message has been edited by bizk1d (edited 23-02-2001).]

Well if INEX went down, Ireland would be fairly "disconnected". But most companies have backups of their main lines. Sometimes, they just run off these lines, and don't bother fixing their main lines! (j/k) Heanet, who connect colleges, and government departments to the internet, have a fair bit of redundancy afaik.
