Guest Post: Network monitoring has traditionally been built around a simple assumption: Most problems come from outside. What can we learn by observing the traffic that leaves our networks — especially when it does not receive a reply?
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.
Guest Post: eBPF has been widely leveraged to improve network function performance. Can similar benefits be achieved for web servers and microservices?
From npNOG to APRICOT, this journey shows how engaging with the Internet community can open unexpected doors — building connections, practical skills, and opportunities that extend well beyond a single event.
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.
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.
Guest Post: Despite their relative simplicity, Protective DNS blocklists are not a catch-all security solution; blocklists differ in their goals, threat categorization, maintenance frequency, and community support.
Guest Post: DNSSEC adoption, while steadily rising, is still low after 20 years. Why care about DNSSEC adoption anyway?
Guest Post: Is the peering market in decline? A closer look at global data and operator experience suggests otherwise.
Guest Post: Job Snijders explores how the use of RPKI to secure Internet routing grew and evolved over 2025.
