[Dextrose] [Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Reflect internet connectivity in the 'Network' frame icon

[James Cameron]

It might indicate connectivity to either the school server, Jabber
server, or successful NTP synchronisation.  A deployment might customise
what method to use, including hostnames of their own infrastructure.
The default should be harmless.

This feature is present on at least three modern consumer routers that
I've used in the past six months, in the form of an extra LED called
"INTERNET".  It isn't clear how it is implemented, but it seems quite
reliable ... not indicating when I've got a problem loading pages, for
example.
