Make this one change to prevent IPv6 routing loops in your network
Guest Post: Routing loops cause packets to circulate between routers. This can congest links, enable DDoS attacks, and ultimately reduce the stability and reliability of the Internet. The good news is that IPv6 routing loops are easy to prevent.
Demystifying performance of eBPF network applications
Guest Post: eBPF has been widely leveraged to improve network function performance. Can similar benefits be achieved for web servers and microservices?
The why and what of the CIDR Report
Geoff Huston explains the reasons for the CIDR Report, what’s in it, and shares some thoughts as to its usefulness to the Internet routing community today.
Routing security in APAC: Trends from the APNIC region
RPKI deployment continues to strengthen across the Asia Pacific region. The data shows real progress, but also where operators can make the biggest impact next.
[Podcast] bgproutes.io: A next-generation BGP data collection platform
Thomas Alfroy and Thomas Holterbach from the University of Strasbourg talk about bgproutes.io — a new approach to sharing BGP data with the community.
Refreshed IPv6 Deployment Workshop at APRICOT 2026
The IPv6 Deployment Workshop at APRICOT 2026 introduced refreshed content and lab topologies, giving participants confidence to implement IPv6 in their enterprise networks.
Getting network automation right: A practical strategy for enterprise networks
Guest Post: Network automation promises speed, accuracy, and efficiency, but a full-scale rollout can be risky in a brownfield environment. This post examines the tradeoffs, tool choices, and why a gradual, bottleneck-driven approach is often the most effective way to begin.
IPv6 deployment at APRICOT 2026: Scanning, generative AI, a home network, and a city
The APNIC IPv6 Deployment session at APRICOT 2026 highlighted where and how IPv6 is being deployed in our region, the innovations driving deployment, and the challenges that hinder it.
bgproutes.io: A next-generation BGP data collection platform
Designed for modern routing observability, bgproutes.io aggregates data from thousands of sources and adds tools for real‑time insight, including BMP support and integrated RPKI ROV and ASPA validation.
