My idea is to force internet routers into delaying routing or config change update application. In other words, there will be temporary routing tables and configs that will be reverted if they are not confirmed by the engineer. Traffic flow will be simulated based on the unapplied rt/config for a period of time with appropriate alerts in place.
I get that routers are expensive but settlement free ISPs(tier 0) and any router that can directly affect the global routing table should be considered as much a critical infrastructure as core power grid substations.
With everyone working and learning from home, internet outages will bring the global economy to a halt. I am not opposed to legal regulation of security and engieering practices when it comes to the global routing table.
