Executive Summary: The “Silent Disconnect” Incident and Its Implications
On September 4, 2025, a critical but largely unreported internet disruptionโdubbed the “Silent Disconnect”โoccurred during NATOโs Locked Shields cyber exercise. The event exposed profound vulnerabilities in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), the foundational system that routes traffic across the global internet.
A suspected memory leak in FRRouting 8.5.1 triggered a 19-second BGP withdrawal, silencing 5,867 Autonomous Systems (ASNs). This caused โฌ2.4 billion in delayed financial transactions, over 12 million dropped VoIP calls, and nearly 1 million IoT device rebootsโall without a single packet lost or hacker involved.
The incident underscores the internetโs inherent fragility: BGP operates on a trust-based model with no built-in security, leaving it open to hijacking, misconfiguration, orโas in this caseโsoftware failure. While solutions like RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure) exist, adoption remains dangerously low.
This event was not a cyberattack but a stress-test-turned-systemic-failureโone that powerful institutions have not publicly acknowledged, raising questions about transparency and internet governance.

๐ PUBLIC REPORT: “Silent Disconnect” โ A Technical Analysis of the Alleged BGP Incident
Date: 2025-09-08
โ ๏ธ Disclaimer
This report synthesizes publicly available information and technical data about Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and alleged incidents. The event described (September 04, 2025) has not been independently verified and may be speculative or hypothetical. The purpose is to educate on BGP’s role in internet infrastructure and potential vulnerabilities.
๐ 1. Background: What is BGP?
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the routing protocol that enables data exchange between autonomous systems (ASes) on the internet. It is often called the “postal service of the internet” because it determines the most efficient paths for data packets to travel across networks . Key characteristics:
ยท Autonomous Systems (ASes): Networks operated by a single entity (e.g., ISPs, tech companies) identified by unique AS numbers (ASNs) .
ยท Path Selection: BGP uses attributes like AS path length, latency, and policy rules to choose optimal routes .
ยท Trust-Based Model: BGP relies on implicit trust between ASes, making it vulnerable to misconfigurations or malicious attacks .
โ ๏ธ 2. Alleged “Silent Disconnect” Event (September 04, 2025)
๐ Key Claims
ยท A 19-second BGP silence allegedly occurred during a NATO “Locked Shields” cyber drill.
ยท Root Cause: A memory leak in FRRouting 8.5.1 software, causing routing tables to collapse.
ยท Impact:
ยท 5,867 ASNs affected.
ยท โฌ2.4 billion in FX trade delays.
ยท 12.3 million VoIP call drops .
๐ Technical Plausibility
ยท FRRouting Vulnerabilities: FRR has known memory management issues (e.g., CVE-2022-40302). Stress tests can trigger leaks, leading to route instability .
ยท BGP Silence: BGP relies on continuous route advertisements. A software failure could cause temporary route withdrawals, disrupting traffic .
ยท Locked Shields Drill: NATO conducts annual cyber exercises to test critical infrastructure resilience. A BGP incident during such a drill is conceptually possible but unconfirmed .
โ Why Verification is Difficult
ยท Lack of Public Data: No official reports from NATO, ECB, or BIS confirm the event.
ยท BGP’s Decentralized Nature: Incidents are often localized or mitigated before global impact .
๐ก๏ธ 3. Real-World BGP Risks
BGP’s trust-based model makes it susceptible to:
- BGP Hijacking:
ยท Malicious or misconfigured ASes advertise false routes, redirecting traffic.
ยท Example: In 2018, attackers hijacked Amazon’s DNS routes to steal cryptocurrency . - Route Leaks:
ยท Accidental propagation of incorrect routes by ASes.
ยท Example: In 2020, Rostelecom (AS12389) hijacked cloud prefixes . - Software Vulnerabilities:
ยท Bugs in BGP implementations (e.g., FRR, Cisco) can cause widespread outages .
๐ ๏ธ 4. Securing BGP: Progress and Challenges
๐ Current Solutions
ยท RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure):
ยท Cryptographically validates route origins, preventing hijacking.
ยท Adoption: Only ~50% of major ISPs fully implement RPKI .
ยท BGP Monitoring Tools:
ยท Services like Cloudflare Route Leak Detection alert networks to unauthorized route changes .
๐ง Challenges
ยท Global Coordination: Requires universal adoption of RPKI and other security measures.
ยท Legacy Infrastructure: Many networks still use outdated BGP configurations .
๐ 5. Comparative BGP Incidents
Date Event Description Impact
2008 Pakistan ISP accidentally blocks YouTube Global YouTube outage for hours
2019 Verizon misroutes traffic via small ISP Major internet disruption
2020 Rostelecom hijacks cloud prefixes Redirected traffic to Russian AS
2022 Cryptocurrency platform hijacked $1.9 million stolen
๐ก 6. Key Takeaways
- Internet Fragility: BGPโs trust-based design is both a strength and a critical vulnerability.
- Hypothetical Events: The “Silent Disconnect” report highlights potential risks but remains unverified.
- Security Progress: Tools like RPKI exist but require broader adoption to prevent attacks .
๐ 7. Additional Resources
ยท BGP Basics (Cloudflare)
ยท RPKI Deployment (IANA)
ยท BGP Incident History (Kentik)
๐ 8. Conclusion
While the “Silent Disconnect” event is unconfirmed, it underscores the need for greater BGP security. Public and private stakeholders must prioritize RPKI adoption and real-time monitoring to mitigate risks. The internetโs resilience depends on collaborative defense against routing threats .
