On October 27, 1980, there was an unusual occurrence on the ARPANET. For a period of several hours, the network appeared to be unusable, due to what was later diagnosed as a high priority software process running out of control... it is quite interesting to see the way in which unusual (indeed, unique) circumstances can bring out vulnerabilities in network control protocols. Network crashes can have big consequences for modern business. In this Discussion, you will analyse this 1980 ARPANET crash, and try to predict the next big network crash yourself.

Read the RFC 789 document: Rosen, E. (1981) Vulnerabilities of network control protocols: an example. [Online]. Available from: https://tools.ietf.org/pdf/rfc789.pdf (Accessed: 29 April 2014).

Analyse in detail how today's network management tools and know-how could have prevented the ARPANET crash of 1980.Propose what the next big network crash will be. Logically support your proposal with technical details as to why the crash might occur, and predict the potential consequences.
