Wack61916yIsn't BGP fun? ETH is working on a succesor to BGP for a while now and AFAIK it's already deployed between ETH, Switch and one major Swiss bank. The new protocol is called SCION (https://www.scion-architecture.net/) and aims to bring verification and trust, which BGP completly lacks (just think back to ex. the Pakistan/Youtube fuckup...) Not sure though if it would have worked in this case, as probably Verizon would be considered a Core AS under SCION.

@Wack BGP has signatures since a while now, but many ISPs don't sign their own routes and / or do not verify the other's ones.

Seams google fucked up like 2 years ago and did kind of the same thing. Guess what, it was also verizon who propagated it...
