Bringing APNIC closer to Members: SANOG to host next APNIC Sub-Regional Forum
APNIC’s next Sub-Regional Forum at SANOG in Kathmandu, Nepal, will bring Internet operations, policy, and community discussions closer to Members in South Asia.
APNIC 62 workshops build practical skills for modern network operations
APNIC 62 features three hands-on workshops that help network professionals automate operations, strengthen security, and deploy next-generation routing technologies.
IPv6 address planning: From ‘bit conservation’ to ‘elegant alignment’
Guest Post: When planning IPv6 addressing schemes, many engineers still carry over habits from the IPv4 era. The instinct is to conserve every possible bit and to compress region, service, and network type information into the smallest space that meets current needs. While this approach once made sense, it is poorly suited to IPv6.
Rethinking non‑access stratum timers for LEO satellite constellations in 5G and beyond
Guest Post: AstroTimer starts from a simple but important question: Can we compute NAS timers directly from LEO‑specific conditions, such as path length, link variability, and NF load, using a closed‑form, low‑cost model?
APNIC Foundation’s BCAP project wins 2026 WSIS Prize for Capacity Building
The APNIC Foundation’s Building Capabilities in the Asia Pacific (BCAP) project has won the 2026 WSIS Prize for capacity building, recognizing its impact on developing Internet skills across the Asia Pacific.
Who’s running all those tiny RPKI servers?
Guest Post: Small RPKI publication servers comprise a quiet but important part of the Internet’s trust infrastructure. Understanding who operates these servers, and why, helps reveal both strengths and gaps in today’s routing security.
Strengthening capacity, relationships, and routing security in Thailand
APNIC engaged with Thailand’s Internet community through local events that combined technical training and Member-focused discussions. The strong participation highlighted growing demand for practical capacity building and direct engagement on routing security and IPv6.
Data synchronization
Distributed systems depend on synchronization, but every approach has tradeoffs. From full copies to delta updates, how do you choose the right method?
Life on the Internet adoption curve
The technology adoption curve has not changed, our position on it has. As the Internet and BGP move into later stages of adoption, rapid growth is giving way to saturation, changing how we plan, invest, and operate.
