During GPF2026, Kaj just presented a brilliant deep-dive on what actually happens at Internet Exchanges when subsea cables break and backbone capacity suddenly vanishes into the ocean.

Spoiler: It involves a lot of frantic re-routing and engineering magic.

Huge thanks to Kaj for the insights. Now, excuse me while I go test my backup links...
