A second line saves what leaves the office, not what comes in: when the main one drops, the IP address changes, and with it DNS, open sessions, tunnels and third-party allow lists. The three real ways to have two paths, with 2026 figures: EUR 1,800 a year in RIPE fees, EUR 50 for the ASN, roughly 7,700 to 10,200 dollars for the /24 itself, and the ninety-second default of the BGP hold timer.
Two submarine cable systems failed on the same weekend off Perth, inside declared protection zones, and the earliest expected fix is 26 August: eighteen days. What to ask your carrier to find out whether your second line is a second route or just a second invoice, and what an SD-WAN does — and does not — solve.
70.31% of internet routes now carry a valid RPKI signature, yet only 12.3% of the autonomous systems measured achieve full protection on their routes. And the hijack that actually gets used — copying your ASN into the origin and putting yourself in front of it — passes validation with a green light. What a ROA signs and what it leaves out, the four families of attack left outside, today's event counter with its small print, and the two questions worth all the others for your provider if you do not run your own AS.
In December 2025 the largest DDoS on record was mitigated: 31.4 Tbps, roughly 31,000 times the capacity of a 1 Gbps fibre. By the time that traffic reaches your firewall, the battle is already lost. What RTBH is, why a local blackhole won't save your link, and what to ask your provider.
CloudFront served errors for about eight hours on July 16, 2026. It's the third major AWS outage in nine months, and none of them was an attack. What to map, what to promise and what NOT to build so your provider's incident doesn't become yours.
On November 18, 2025, Cloudflare suffered its worst outage since 2019. An internal technical issue paralyzed much of the network for 6 hours, affecting X, ChatGPT, League of Legends and many other services.
