Interesting that many attacks on overlay networks
seem to depend on lack of fulltime 100% capacity fill
and reclocking, and that no overlay [or underlying physical]
networks currently deploy it, nor do many nets
of other design seem to make extensive impact
upon that class of GPA. Even 14.4-56k rates could
could have interesting uses at secure levels.
