Interesting: BGP Zombie Outbreak on Juniper Routers

BGP zombies are routes in the BGP table that refuse to disappear even though they should have been long gone. Recent measurements estimate between 0.5% and 1.5% of all routes in the global BGP table are zombies, which sounds crazy – after all, BGP is supposed to be pretty reliable.

Daryll Swer identified one potential source – Juniper routers do not revoke suppressed aggregated prefixes – and documented it in Navigating a BGP zombie outbreak on Juniper routers.

Heavy Networking 676: Implementing ZTNA And SASE With Fortinet (Sponsored)

Fortinet is a security vendor most of you have heard of. But if all you think of when you hear the name “Fortinet” is firewalls, well yeah, but you should think more broadly. On today's sponsored Heavy Networking we're going after the work-from-anywhere challenge with Fortinet’s Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) tech, all of which is baked into FortiOS. If you’re running a FortiGate, you’ve got these capabilities already.

Aruba banks on integrated security, AI, NaaS for enterprise growth

Security, AI, and network-as-a-service (NaaS) were top of mind for Aruba Networks execs at their Atmosphere customer conference this week.“Ten years ago for most network operators their main job was making sure connectivity was reliable and security was someone else’s problem. It was outside their perimeter," said David Hughes, senior vice president, chief product and technology officer with Aruba. "But today all perimeters have dissolved and the network has expanded,” .“The networking team is now responsible for making sure connectivity is secure from the start.
