Verizon and a BGP Optimizer Knocked Large Parts of the Internet Offline

Thank you! CloudFlare's response is appropriate.

The incident itself and lack of response (for HOURS) from Verizon's side is absolutely unacceptable. It's 2019, filtering ALL of your customer's routes according to - at least - the IRR (including the legacy ones connected to the old router in the closet) and having a responsive 24/7 NOC contact in PeeringDB are a matter of course.

Proper carriers like NTT go above and beyond simple IRR filtering nowadays with things like peerlock (http://instituut.net/~job/peerlock_manual.pdf).

AT&T uses RPKI and was completely unaffected: https://twitter.com/Jerome_UZ/status/1143276134907305984

So basically we should avoid all Verizon Enterprise Product.

EdgeCast used to be my favourite CDN. Not sure how they are doing now.
