That is why this is *not* done with TCP/IP. In ATM networks you can have
simultaneous redundant routes for the cells (53 byte packets) and deterministic
bandwidth allocation. That is also how they keep the latency down. Backhoe
oops could still be a problem, but it would have to be right at either end
point.
