When I was in school 15 years ago, BGP was described to me as a sketchy game of telephone. “Oh yeah you want to route to a 129.37.x.x address? I know a guy who knows a guy. Said he’s the owner of the whole 129./ block. In fact, he’s my personal friend. I mean friend’s friend… Why don’t I just take those pesky packets off your hands and we walk away” Has anything fundamentally changed?
