- Additional information
- This is the first investigation of the security and resilience of the BGP backbone in Europe based on a combination of both logical and physical topologies. The paper lays the foundations for a range of further investigations by positing several large-scale disruption scenarios. The research provided policy recommendations to the Office of Cyber Security and Information Assurance and BIS, and has formed input to ENISA expert consultations. It also forecasted scenarios such as the major outage of BT and other ISPs in the UK in July 2016, and has led directly and indirectly to government policy changes.
