What keeps going when ping fails?

"In STRONG ANGEL, there were times when nothing else could get through -- Web, email, conferencing -- they all shut down when the available bandwidth shrinks too low, but Groove keeps going, even after ping.exe is no longer working."

That is just awe-inspiring, and true. One of Groove's greatest assets is its ability to work off-line and when back on-line to quietly get on with the job of exchanging deltas.
