Odd how often Verizon's name comes up in these periodic stories about mass mis-routing of internet traffic.
- coldcode 7y agoSince they fail to filter these out, perhaps some enterprising person could route the entire internet through someone's closet ISP. Maybe, just maybe, they will then care.
- toast0 7y agoPart of this is Verizon's poor practices, and part of it is Verizon is a major transit provider; if a routing leak affects a large amount of the internet, it's almost certainly because a major transit provider accepted the announcement and propagated it.
- walrus01 7y agoAmong the many ASes of things they've acquired, Verizon is AS701 / UUNet, which is historically one of the largest and most widespread ASes on the planet. I still think of it as uunet.
