As Timor-Leste deepens its integration with ASEAN and the global digital economy, continued progress in technical capability, resilience, and Internet governance will be critical to ensuring connectivity delivers broader economic and social benefits.
Guest Post: IPv6 deployment is often described as a protocol upgrade. In reality, operating IPv6 at broadband scale is a test of subscriber management, DHCP, CPE interoperability, observability, and operational processes. Over seven years, WorldLink Communications grew to more than one million dual-stack subscribers, with around 70% of traffic now carried over IPv6. Here are the lessons that mattered most.
APNIC 62 Policy SIG discussed seven proposals covering IPv4, IPv6, and Internet abuse-related issues.
The partnership will expand IPv6 and RPKI deployment including piloting an RPKI Repository Mirror to support a more secure and resilient Internet ecosystem.
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.
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.
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.
The APNIC 62 Open Policy Meeting will consider a diverse set of policy proposals covering IPv4 management, IPv6 allocation practices, and Internet abuse handling.
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.
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.
