bgp resilience
About this tag
The bgp resilience tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about maintaining stable internet routing when physical infrastructure fails. A key example is the September 2025 Red Sea cable cuts, which disrupted multiple subsea fiber-optic systems and caused increased latency for Microsoft Azure customers. This event highlights how BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) resilience depends on diverse physical paths and rapid rerouting to mitigate single points of failure. Topics include the fragility of undersea cables, the role of BGP in rerouting traffic, and the impact on cloud services like Azure. The tag is relevant for IT professionals and network engineers concerned with internet reliability and Microsoft's cloud infrastructure.
