BGP Router ID structuring in IPv6 native networks
Guest Post: How to design and structure BGP Router IDs in IPv6-native networks.
Tag: BGP
Discovery of IPv6 router addresses using Subnet-Router Anycast addresses
Guest Post: Identifying active IPv6 addresses helps assess deployment, reveal gaps, and detect vulnerable devices. Subnet-Router Anycast (SRA) probing removes the need for prior knowledge of address allocation.
Ephemeral leaks and automated BGP route leak detection
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.
SCION: The overlay network for bankers
SCION has both supporters and critics, but it faces a major challenge: Replacing BGP while competing in an environment where network decisions are driven more by carrier costs than by strategic priorities.
Detecting and characterizing DDoS scrubbing from global BGP routing
Guest Post: Analysing public BGP data to characterize the real‑world behaviour of five major scrubbing services.
Noisy routers: Investigating the make-up of route collector data
Guest Post: An analysis of more than 80 billion updates reveals how ‘noisy’ BGP updates inflate MRT archives, bias measurements, and highlights the need for more careful interpretation of BGP data.
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.
Strengthening network security and visibility through APNIC products and tools
How APNIC products and tools can strengthen your network security and improve routing visibility in this upcoming webinar.
[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.
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.
