Scenario 1 Traffic between two floors of the same office building in Singapore takes over 350ms round trip, traveling via San Jose, California Scenario 2 Traffic from Western Europe to the US takes around 70ms round trip, traveling via Iceland’s incumbent provider Is either scenario unusual? Source: Dyn

Scenario 1 – TYPICAL NTT won’t peer with Tinet in Singapore; Tinet must drag traffic to San Jose to hand it off to NTT, who drags it home again to Singapore. Scenario 2 – UNUSUAL Iceland’s Siminn hijacked routes of major firms for weeks and passed the traffic along. In general, traffic never flows via Iceland (cost, geo). Is either scenario unusual? Source: Dyn

Scenario 1 Latency for traffic from the American Southwest to a major travel website suddenly doubles, traveling through Atlanta on Destination to Denver. Scenario 2 Traffic from Montevideo, Uruguay to AWS Brazil takes around 290 ms round trip, traveling through Miami. Is either scenario unusual? Source: Dyn 1 2

Is either scenario unusual? Source: Dyn 1 2 Scenario 1- TYPICAL While adding a data center in Denver to join Atlanta, the same ISP was used, despite only allowing peering Atlanta. Traffic will still peer there, before being dragged to the new DC in Denver. New Peering provider likely needed. Scenario 2- VERY TYPICAL Despite being only 2000 km from São Paulo, traffic on Telstar will pass through Miami, then Dallas(!?), before reaching Brazil. Welcome to South America. Actually...

Scenario 1 Latencies to Google’s public DNS servers increase dramatically from S. America Scenario 2 Latencies to a Microsoft network (hosting important domains) decrease momentarily from E. Europe Source: Dyn Research Is either scenario

Scenario 1 – UNUSUAL Google departs Brazil for unexplained reasons. DNS queries answered from California. No route hijacking involved. (See our 10/30 blog post) Scenario 2 – UNUSUAL (MALICIOUS!) Microsoft network (more specific of routed prefix) is hijacked, misdirection limited to immediate vicinity. Not Man-in-the-Middle! Traces terminated at the hijacker.

THE INTERNET: IT’S NOT THE HIGHWAY

IT’S NOT YOUR CIRCULATORY THE INTERNET:

IT’S NOT A TELEPHONE THE INTERNET:

● Internet exchange points can form around critical landing sites, if local conditions are right. 1. Submarine Cables Tie Continents Together 19

● Connecting landing point and exchange point cities ● Arbitraging differences in Internet pricing ● Creating diversity that can survive local cable breaks 2. Fiber Networks to IXPs 20

● Internet service providers of all sizes compete to serve consumer interest, interconnecting in small and medium-sized regional hub cities 3. Regional & Local Internet 21

●Delivery of bits from city-level infrastructure to local offices and consumers 4. The Last Mile 22

HIJACKS Hijacks Raised when a prefix you Originate is announced by a different Origin AS Hijacked Sub-prefix Raised when you are monitoring a prefix and a more specific prefix within that range is announced by a different Origin

ANATOMY OF A HIJACK Normal YouTube announced through a /22 block /22 Pakistan govt attempted to block an ‘offensive’ video Pakistan Telecom implemented this by announcing a more specific /24 prefix Propagated globally and redirected all YouTube users to Pakistan Telecom /24 Source: Dyn

HIJACK PT. II: GOING NUCLEAR March 2015: Vega (AS 12883) starts announcing British Telecom prefixes. Initially, 14 prefixes, later 167 prefixes including UK’s Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) Traceroutes confirm traffic heads into Ukraine through Vega, but still reaches it’s destination at AWE via BT Source: Dyn

WHAT IS BGP? Routing Protocol BGP = Border Gateway Protocol Properties ubiquitous: the de facto internet standard distributed: no centralized coordination trust-based: routers believe what they learn gossipy: share information
