Explain how you think this resonance would happen? unlike sound, packets don't 
'echo', they deliver messages, which can (and frequently do) trigger reply 
messages but unlike audio resonance, the incoming packets don't add to the 
outgoing packets to make a larger signal than the outgoing packets would if the 
timing was a little difference.
