APNIC 62 Policy SIG reviews seven policy proposals, with two reaching consensus
APNIC 62 Policy SIG discussed seven proposals covering IPv4, IPv6, and Internet abuse-related issues.

Beyond origin validation: Four classes of routing attack nobody Is validating
Guest Post: RPKI has made real progress against prefix hijacking. But when you map every known class of BGP attack against the defences that exist, four of them turn out to sit entirely outside cryptographic validation — handled with local filters, static thresholds and reactive response.
South Asia SRF highlights Member priorities on IPv6, routing security, and training
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.
AI, IPv6, and the future Internet at IETF 126
Guest Post: At IETF 126, discussions highlighted how AI is beginning to shape the future of Internet infrastructure. Participants identified IPv6 as a critical foundation for large-scale AI ecosystems and explored new approaches.
APNIC 62 OPM: Just the facts
The APNIC 62 Open Policy Meeting will consider a diverse set of policy proposals covering IPv4 management, IPv6 allocation practices, and Internet abuse handling.
IPv6 address planning: From ‘bit conservation’ to ‘elegant alignment’
Guest Post: When planning IPv6 addressing schemes, many engineers still carry over habits from the IPv4 era. The instinct is to conserve every possible bit and to compress region, service, and network type information into the smallest space that meets current needs. While this approach once made sense, it is poorly suited to IPv6.
IPv6-only vs IPv6-mostly: Appropriate use cases
Guest Post: Clear definitions of IPv6-only and IPv6-mostly depend on context. Choosing the right transition model directly affects performance, scalability, and user experience. Understanding where each approach fits is key to successful IPv6 deployment.
Notes from NANOG 97
AI eats the world, geolocation, measuring IPv6, and the cost of SSH from NANOG 97.
BGP Router ID structuring in IPv6 native networks
Guest Post: How to design and structure BGP Router IDs in IPv6-native networks.
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.
