telestra is a total disaster of an telco. not a surprise.
- elliotanderson 15y agoMaybe so, but in this case it looks like Dodo was the one that hosed them. Since the internet is designed to be as decentralised as possible, it relies on a certain level of trust when it comes to BGP advertisements. In this case Dodo advertised an incorrect routing table upstream to Telstra which then propagated it out as per the protocol.
- i386 15y agoI am no expert, but it appears that Telstra had the ability to block the kind of erroneous BGP broadcast that Dodo made.
