OK, imagine a superhero whose superpower is being able to move through the Internet! Cyber-speeds!
Now, what are all the problems he might have in actualizing that superpower. Add one with each post, feel free to comment and/or build off of previous limitations.
My first limitation is that it requires a fat client on a workstation at each terminus. And the clients talk to each other via telnet, so make sure that hole is open on the firewall... :smug:
He gets really long and stretched over 56Kb lines
There are also QOS issues, particularly when passing through devices that do not respect the "do not fragment" bit.
If a firewall kills his traffic he actally dies?? Nah to limiting.
I'll make it that he can bypass firewalls just by jumping out of the outside wire and jumping into the inside wire.
when his traffic is cloned he is cloned, so there are not thousands of him running around. Some have gone evil. He is litterly his own worst enemy.
You can capture him in a spanning-tree loop.
If he's coming in router A interface Gi0
I can policy route his left arm out Gi1 to Router B
and policy route his right arm out Gi2 to Router B
then he can grab the evil villain that lurks on Router B
You can limit his powers drastically by setting the MTU to 768.
His arch enemy is BACKHOE-MAN.

OOOOOOOOHHHHH! Had not considered his arch-enemies. Good call.
"I'll never talk, Backhoe-Man!"
"I don't expect you to *talk*, Internet-Man! I expect your TTL to expire! Muhuhahahahahaha!"
Hmmm 2 arch villians
Blackhole man and backhoe man. One fwarts him in RL, the other in VR.
Internet-Man's biggest weakness is Null0
If a firewall is blocking him via IPv4, Internet-Man uses his mysterious powers of IPv6 to bypass the firewall!
Unless the firewall is also blocking IPv6...
He's armed with keypairs and tunnels himself across tcp/443. He truly is the original Man-in-the-Middle.
In issue #37, he meets up with an ancient civilization based on IPX-SPX.

I envision the IPX-SPX civilization to all look like Sleestaks from Land of the Lost.

To bypass the Authenticator he uses EAP as a disguise and jumps on the RADIUS slipstream to get to the majestic and devine Auth Service to get his advise on the secret x509 at PKI city

What if he wants to get out before self-destruct, and cant?

His TTL is permanently set at 30 and never decrements. He can always make that next hop.
