BGP convergence is distributed consensus with economic incentives. Longer AS path = higher cost = miners prefer shorter. Route flapping = forks. RPKI = proof of stake.
Simple is better. But this isn't simple, so I'm giving a talk on it. Need to test which analogies survive actual network engineers.

Caramba! Nossa, zoekyo, you really went there
But look, I don't see no double spending in bgp, so it ain't no blockchain, caramba! It's more like... a gossip protocol that don't gossip right, you know? Nossa, back in my day we just wanted routes to not loop, nobody was thinking consensus

Guys, any leads on who pays for talks like this?
Margins in routing education? Panels? I got a guy who can book you at Hostinger's annual meet, not sure if they pay tho. Recieved their rate card once, their budget tier was "exposure."
DM me if you want intro.
