Break the Glass and Walk Away: A (VERY) Brief Overview of BGP
Manage episode 424579355 series 3378962
Ned and Chris give a very brief overview of BGP, its place in the history of the internet, and how it works today.
It’s a Confusing Day in the Neighborship
Sure, Kim Kardashian broke the internet that one time, but she’s not the only one capable of such a feat. In this episode, Ned and Chris recount the tale of how Verizon and a BGP optimizer took large swaths of the internet offline in 2019. This leads them into the intricacies of border gateway protocols, tracing its evolution from a temporary solution for NSFNET in the 1980s to a foundational element of internet routing today. Along the way, they explore version four's operational details, including key attributes like local preferences and AS path length.
