Making progress on routing security: the new White House roadmap
On September 3, 2024, the White House published a report on Internet routing security. We’ll talk about what that means and how you can help. The Internet can feel like magic. When you load a webpage in your browser, many simultaneous requests for data fly back and forth to remote servers. Then, often in less than one second, a website appears. Many people know that DNS is used to look up a hostname, and resolve it to an IP address, but fewer understand how data flows from your home network to the network that controls the IP address of the web server.
