You wanted to know how math applies to physical situations. I had the exact opposite thing. We were told to just use differential equations and not worry about the theoretical foundations. The math we catched up a year later, so we had enough experience with practical situations.
While studying Chemical Enigineering we used Atkins "Physical Chemistry" for a dense introduction to thermodynamics and how it applies to chemistry (it also has some mechanics and quantumtheory):

Well... no!
It's like this in my country (The Netherlands):
ISP: backlash
ME: I cancel my account
Open networks, free choice and an open market...
Most consumers in Europe (Netherlands, Germany, Belgium...) have choice in physical network connection (4 or more in my town) and on some of these allow for multiple ISP's with different policies and packets.
Don't panic;-)

And what about the upstream providers who provide to the last mile ISP's? The economics between Autonomous Systems doesn't work like a draw brige where packets stop at the turnpike. It's much more complex than that.

As long as thre are multiple networks, peering contracts and open networks there's no need to worry.
Or do you think I am wrong?
