Play the recording: The mystery of the routes that refused to die

  • Why: By title, a routing postmortem — routes that persisted after they should have been withdrawn — which is exactly the sticky-state / withdrawal-propagation class of BGP datapath bug the PM cares about, and postmortems are the highest-transfer format at operator events.
  • What: The program publishes no description for this talk, and no source text was available, so this entry reflects the title and speaker only. Judged by the title it is a troubleshooting narrative about routes that survived expected withdrawal; anything beyond that requires the slides or recording.
  • How: Not determinable from the program text; slides and video are published.
  • Where applicable: Unknown until reviewed — flagged here because the format and subject area are high-value for this reader.
