List 3 kinds of risk facing networks?

Answer 1

Ummm. survivor is going to get a lot of heat with their next episode. Someone is going to pull the race card.

Answer 2

4) Getting busted using the Internet to do your homework. :)

The question as phrased isn't really defined well enough to answer. For the average large-scale long-haul network (what most people would call a "backbone" or "tier 1 or 2" network), the three biggest risks are:

1) Backhoe incidents. You suddenly lose a few OC-48s when somebody digs someplace they shouldn't and nails your cable - this is made worse by the fact that often, somebody screws up and the alternate path is in that same fiber bundle.

2) Typos by some junior level network engineer (often referred to as a 'NOC monkey" or "banana-eater"). He goes to configure the customer interface on a router, and accidentally configures the backbone side instead... Whoops.

3) Flash crowd traffic (the "slashdot effect") - also seen on large sites such as www.cnn.com if there's a big event (Hurricane Katrina, 9/11, etc).
