On this week’s episode of The Internet Report, Archana and I are thrilled to be joined by Martin Levy, who is a distinguished engineer at Cloudflare focused on BGP route security and expanding Cloudflare's global network footprint. Check out this week’s episode to hear his thoughts on BGP security, best practices such as using RPKI and some recent routing incidents. After speaking with Levy and hearing his perspective, we jump over to a discussion around some notable outages this past week, particularly one at Virgin Media that affected connectivity for users in the UK for several hours. After going through these events, we cover off on our usual health check of ISP, cloud, and collaboration service providers.
