Ned and Chris talk to Doug Madory about changes in BGP since the mid-1990s.

The More Things Change, the More BGP Changes a Little Bit

Ned and Chris dive into the evolving landscape of BGP with Doug Madory, the Director of Internet Analysis at Kentik. Despite the rapid transformation of the internet since the mid-1990s, BGP remains largely unchanged, leading to a rise in routing hijacks and user errors. Doug discusses how automated filters and cryptographic tools like RPKI ROV are mitigating mistakes and improving security. He explores the potential of BGP solutions in reducing global issues and the importance of initiatives like ASPA. The guys also get Doug’s take on significant events like the Allegheny/Verizon incident and the FCC's ongoing efforts to enhance BGP security.
