Leslie Daigle and Vu The Binh opened APNIC 60 with keynotes: Leslie on tackling bad traffic, and Vu on Viet Nam’s path to IPv6-only and its strategies for IPv6, data centres, and CDNs.
Guest Post: For 35 years, accidental BGP route leaks and hijacks have been routine — a simple tweak, now defined in RFC 9234, could have prevented most of them.
Guest Post: Quantifying DDR adoption and configuration patterns across 1.3M open resolvers using SVCB records.
Geoff Huston discusses the possible inevitability of a centralized Internet in the modern online economy.
Guest Post: A packet-level tour through redirects, TLS negotiation, and protocol discovery.
Geoff Huston discusses the DNS root zone and how query load at the root could be reduced by using trusted local copies of the zone.
Why IP, transport, routing, and DNS protocols can harden and what that means for the future of the public network.
Guest Post: Many AS-SETs have grown so large they effectively whitelist most of the routing table, defeating their purpose. How are AS-SETs actually used for filtering, and what can be done when they get too big?
What an ordinary Thursday reveals about Internet routing from the edge.
