How Border Gateway Protocol Prevents Internet Collapse

We examine the fragile architecture of Border Gateway Protocol, the routing system that directs global internet traffic. Using the 2021 Facebook outage as a case study, we break down how route leaks and prefix hijacks can disconnect millions of users in seconds. Lucas and Luna discuss why BGP lacks built-in authentication, how organizations use Resource Public Key Infrastructure to secure their prefixes, and what this means for the future of network engineering. #BGP #InternetRouting #NetworkEngineering #CyberSecurity #FacebookOutage #CloudComputing #TechInfrastructure #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #DigitalEconomy #ITOps #SysAdmin #NetworkSecurity #TechNews #DataCenters #ISP #TechStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
