It may work in a similar fashion to the airlines. If you miss your connection they say -’ our responsibility is to get you there, not by a particular time’ yet the ‘particular time’ is an unspoken expectation. However they will try and get you on another flight offered by another airline. The internet service providers whether they be connection, software or storage providers need to work together for the good of the customer.

Internet traffic overload is a valid consideration for anyone with a stake in application service delivery to their users.

It does not seem to me that internet traffic congestion has any greater relevance to Cloud Computer vs. internally hosted or vs. hosted at a significant data center facility though.

Situations like that are going to affect any users whose web page requests and web pages responses flow through those congestion points.

Of course, proactively monitoring your critical customer facing web applications and other assets can provide great visibility into these events.

Just my 2-cents.
