WAN Manager Podcast 310: How Global Events Impact the Internet
Episode description
Although WAN managers have always had to be aware of internet performance and outages, this is increasingly crucial in the internet-first WAN era.
To explore how global events, natural or human, impact the internet and how to stay on top of those headlines, we welcome a leading expert on this topic to the show. Doug Madory, Director of Internet Analysis at Kentik, sits with Greg to get into recent world events that have had real, consequential impacts on the internet.
The pair had much to talk about, from the volcanic eruption and subsequent tsunami that knocked out internet access in Tonga to Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine and the corresponding information war.
The WAN Manager Podcast is now TeleGeography Explains the Internet. Hosted by Greg Bryan.
