Wack61256yIsn'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...

It feels stupid to see a simple google dork returning the list of your mistakes.
Seriously....
Fascinating read about the inner workings of the worldwide web and gross incompetence.

"It doesn't cost a provider like Verizon anything to have such limits in place. And there's no good reason, other than sloppiness or laziness, that they wouldn't have such limits in place."
