In today's podcast we cover four crucial cyber and technology topics, including: 

1.        French town impacted by cyber-attack 

2.        Sweden grocer dealing with ransomware infection 

3.        Cyber Security firm Mandiant has X account hacked 

4.        Internet traffic rerouted in BGP attack against Spanish firm

At around 7:05 a.m. UTC on January 25, 2023, Microsoft started experiencing service related issues. At the same time, ThousandEyes observed BGP withdrawals and a significant number of route changes that resulted in a high amount of packet loss, ultimately affecting various services like Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and others. 

00:00 Welcome: This is The Internet Report, where we uncover what’s working and what’s breaking on the Internet—and why. Join our co-hosts Angelique Medina, Head of Internet Intelligence, and Kemal Santja, Principal Internet Architect, both from ThousandEyes, as they discuss the January 25, 2023 Microsoft outage.

10:18 Why would rapid announcement changes cause packet loss at the scale that was observed during this event?

12:35 What should someone make of the length / duration of the event? 

14:28 Why would the change of an IP address on a router cause such a major connectivity disruption? 

23:37 What are some of the lessons you can learn from this event?

CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK - http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotw

CHECK OUT OUR NEW PODCAST - "CLOUDCAST BASICS"

SHOW SPONSORS:

• Megaport - Network as a Service Platform
• Try Megaport - Cloud Connectivity Simplified
• CBT Nuggets: Expert IT Training for individuals and teams
• Sign up for a CBT Nuggets Free Learner account 

SHOW NOTES:

• Juniper (homepage)
• Juniper Cloud Services
• Juniper SDN and Orchestration
• Juniper Networks Day One: Building Containers Using Kubernetes and Contrail 
• Tungsten Fabric from The Linux Foundation

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit about your background, and where you focus at Juniper?

Topic 2 - There’s lots of talk about Hybrid Cloud and Multi-Cloud, but it’s often in the context of Kubernetes or an application running in multiple places. Let’s talk about how we interconnect clouds.

Topic 3 - How should we think about the networking interconnections between end-users, the service providers, and the public cloud providers? 

Topic 4 - Help us understand the similarities and differences between the orchestration of workloads (e.g. containers and Kubernetes) and orchestration of networks (e.g. SDN, Contrail, etc.). Who needs to know about each system?

Topic 5 - How does this all evolve as things like Kubernetes, KubeVirt (VMs) extend out to the edge? 

Topic 6 - What are some of the newer use-cases or application-types that are starting to push the need for new cloud networking technologies?

Well, this was one heck of a week. On Monday, Facebook experienced a historic outage of its infrastructure that impacted services used by billions of people. On Tuesday, a new Windows came out. On Wednesday, Twitch disclosed one of the largest data breaches in years, maybe ever. We were duty-bound to talk through our view on all these momentous events, and some of the things we've learned along the way, and that's exactly what we did.

If you'd like to jump to any of the individual topics this week, the timecodes are:

Facebook: 00:10:19

Twitch: 00:36:57

Windows 11: 00:56:16

Everyone is talking about FRRouting suite these days, while hidden somewhere in the background OpenBGPD has been making continuous progress for years. Interestingly, OpenBGPD project was started for the same reason FRR was forked - developers were unhappy with Zebra or Quagga routing suite and decided to fix it.

We discussed the history of OpenBGPD, its current deployments and future plans with Claudio Jeker, one of the main OpenBGPD developers, in Episode 106 of Software Gone Wild.

In recent Software Gone Wild episodes we explored emerging routing protocols trying to address the specific needs of highly-meshed data center fabrics – RIFT and OpenFabric. In Episode 92 with Dinesh Dutt we decided to revisit the basics trying to answer a seemingly simple question: do we really need new routing protocols?
