To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
This request seeks to obtain records related to a series of networking anomalies in the Internet's Border Gateway Protocol, or BGP, that occurred in 2013. The Border Gateway Protocol is a core networking protocol that determines the routing of network packets on the Internet. In 2013, a number of anomalies in the BGP routing protocol caused Internet traffic to be diverted from locations in the United States to locations outside of the United States. This record request seeks any documents responsive to BGP anomalies in 2013, or investigations related to these networking anomalies.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to follow up on a request that was issued to DHS on 7/14/2019. This request was subsequently followed by multiple requests asking for a status of the request, delivered on a monthly basis from 8/9/2019 to 1/04/2019. On 1/06/2021 I received a first response from DHS asking for the tracking number of my request. Unfortunately, since DHS has failed to respond to any of my previous requests I cannot provide a tracking number. Hence I am including a full copy of my original request below, in the hopes that DHS will be remedy the situation and respond as required by statute.
What follows is a copy of the original request sent on 07/15/2019:
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
This request seeks to obtain records related to a series of networking anomalies in the Internet's Border Gateway Protocol, or BGP, that occurred in 2013. The Border Gateway Protocol is a core networking protocol that determines the routing of network packets on the Internet. In 2013, a number of anomalies in the BGP routing protocol caused Internet traffic to be diverted from locations in the United States to locations outside of the United States. This record request seeks any documents responsive to BGP anomalies in 2013, or investigations related to these networking anomalies.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Matthew D. Green
