Understanding ASPA: The next step in routing security
Join this APNIC Academy webinar to understand how ASPAs work, how they complement ROAs, and how you can begin monitoring and deploying them in your network.

More than 100 APNIC Members attended the South Asia APNIC Sub-Regional Forum alongside SANOG 44 in Kathmandu. Member feedback gathered during the event will help inform APNIC’s future priorities across the region.
With support now available in MyAPNIC and the Registry API, APNIC Members can publish ASPAs to help detect route leaks and strengthen the integrity of Internet routing.
Guest Post: Many BGP route leaks flagged by automated systems are short-lived artifacts of normal convergence. Doug Madory draws on Cloudflare Radar, RouteViews, and Jared Mauch’s leak detector to show how these ‘ephemeral leaks’ occur, why they rarely disrupt traffic, and why they still matter for routing security.
Guest Post: RPKIViews captures the constantly changing global RPKI dataset without storing wasteful full snapshots. By using CCRs, deduplication, and high-efficiency compression, rpkispools make long-term RPKI research practical at scale.
Strengthening routing security is increasingly critical, and APNIC’s tools are helping operators protect their networks with clearer, more reliable validation and visibility.
Guest Post: A short BGP hijack in 2025 showed how routing security can fail when attackers exploit weaknesses in provider onboarding.
How APNIC products and tools can strengthen your network security and improve routing visibility in this upcoming webinar.
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.
There were six insightful presentations on RPKI at the APNIC Routing Security SIG at APRICOT 2026.
