This is actually a very hard question to answer because you would have to put everything that makes the internet possible to date in consideration and that is almost a fathomless topic ,but not impossible, though for good understanding i would suggest reading Sam Halabi's "Internet Routing Architectures" Guess to setup another internet ( as you put it ) you would really have to go back to the basic's. http://btobsearch.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?btob=Y&pwb=1&ean=9781578702336 Not cisco specific but helps you to know how everything comes together which in turn helps you know what it entails to have a functioning internet aka Virtual Insanity :) >> > Ronny >> >> It doesn't matter about the distributed servers though people like to >> delude >>ime ;-) >> > Ronny >> >> It doesn't matter about the distributed servers though people like to >> delude >> >> themselves.
