Diffuse tactics on the internet:

Choose the fastest connection regardless of distance.

The internet connection searches for the fastest link and if a connection is broken it looks for another after a time-out period.  This can be compared to navigation in a city-grid like New York or Barcellona.  If a street becomes blocked another can be used.  This system has good redundancy and finite capacity.
