Core Router

(web series) The Internet's Core Routers are not, as we previously thought, a rack of terrifyingly expensive, gunmetal-gray Cisco boxes in a hardened, multiply-redundant facility, but a klatch of old-fashioned telephone switchboard operators and overweight computer nerds in an industrial park outside Boise. This virtual clip show consists of real and invented Web footage and political scandals, intercut with the operators' and sysops' ironic commentary on the state of the 'net.
