I would call the Internet resilient, in that lower level failures are often reliably re-routed, healed, etc., but at higher levels the same kinds of failures happen over and over.
Anti-Fragile would imply that each doh-inducing failure resulted in internet wide improvements. Something that famously is not happening.
The Internet: "It's Anti-Fragile!" (looking up)
The Internet: "It's Duct Tape all the Way Down" (seen from above)
