There has been speculation about the cause of a BGP anomaly observed in Venezuela on January 2. We take a look at BGP route leaks, and dive into what the data suggests caused the anomaly in question.
A BGP “zombie” is essentially a route that has become stuck in the Default-Free Zone (DFZ) of the Internet, potentially due to a missed or lost prefix withdrawal. We’ll walk through some situations where BGP zombies are more likely to rise from the dead and wreak havoc.
