Internet resilience, AI traffic
myths, and the future of
routing security

Mattias Fridström is joined by Doug Madory, Head of Internet Analysis at Infoblox, for a deep dive into how the Internet has evolved over the past 15 years, the realities behind AI-driven traffic growth, and why trust and security remain central to the Internet ecosystem.

In this episode, they discuss:

• How the Internet has evolved from the early cloud era to today's world of hyperscalers, embedded caches, and highly efficient traffic delivery
• The role of peering and transit in keeping the global Internet connected and economically sustainable
• Why today's Internet is more resilient and stable than ever, thanks to improvements in routing hygiene and security
• The ongoing challenge of protecting the Internet from both accidental routing mistakes and determined adversaries
• Why AI is creating new security concerns, even as fears of AI overwhelming Internet capacity may be overstated
• What AI-driven infrastructure means for network operators, cloud providers, and emerging AI-focused "neo clouds"
