The video discusses the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), a crucial component of the Internet's infrastructure. It highlights past incidents where BGP misconfigurations led to significant disruptions, such as the global YouTube outage in 2008 and the Amazon Route 53 DNS hijacking in 2018. The video explains how BGP functions, its vulnerabilities, and the lack of security measures that make it susceptible to attacks. It also covers the proposed solutions, like using Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) to secure BGP routes, and compares the progress of implementation in the EU and the US.
