Cloudflare Principal Network Engineer Tom Strickx joins This Week in NET to explain what really keeps the Internet running. From anchors cutting submarine cables to automation detecting bad Internet weather, Tom shares an inside look at how one of the world’s largest networks operates — and why human trust still matters in keeping the Internet alive.

We talk about:

  • How Cloudflare’s global network evolved since 2017
  • The hidden fragility of the Internet (and why it still works)
  • Routing leaks, Anycast, and automation
  • AI’s growing role in network reliability
  • What it’s like inside real data centers
