“Communications still haven’t been fully reestablished between the Earth-based Internet and the space-based Interwave since the mass server crash earlier this morning. Several sources in the United States are now able to confirm, however, that it was a sudden, massive increase of server use from Fenspace that triggered a pre-programmed lockdown in American server farms.”
“Are you saying the Internet stalling is the Fen’s fault?”
“Not in the slightest. In fact, the Interwave went down at about the same time. It seems that a directive issued during the Giuliani Administration had ordered that if at any point Internet usage in Fenspace via American servers exceeded a specified level, a denial-of-service order would be automatically issued by the computers controlling the servers. Now, that directive had since been cancelled, but it seems the automatic denial-of-service trigger was never removed, despite the FCC having ordered it five years ago.”
