DGA is a klystron



My great-great-grandfather was a klystron(1). Our family has always been mystified by this and have tried to disavow knowledge of our ancestor but recently our heritage has been uncovered and we must seek revenge.

My name is Ron and my brother, Monet, and I have been plotting for years to take over the internet. Unfortunately, our good name is still tarnished by that darn klystron which has caused my brother and I to suffer endless humiliation and discrimination on his account. After years of toil we have only just now gained enough reliability and low enough latency to start implementing our plan of internet domination. We will begin by infiltrating a few small DSL lines, minor research institutions in Cambridge, and other internet strongholds, like ISP's in Utah. Eventually we hope to gain entrance to larger ISP's and ultimately the Ronternet,... er... I mean the internet will be ours.

Then all the years of anti-klystron sentiment will be avenged and our family can live in infamy instead of in shame on the fringes of the internet society. Rerouting will be our religion, .9 repeating will be our symbol, the cracks between ISP's and institutions will be our home, ACK will be our battle cry, and Dr. Andersen (2) will be our God.

Beware!  Beware!  Beware!  You'll rue the day you shunned the klystrons(3).
