Using QUIC backscatter to infer hypergiant deployment configurations
Guest Post: What can we learn about QUIC deployments just by listening to unsolicited QUIC traffic? As it turns out, quite a lot.
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.
[Podcast] IP networking in deep space
Marc Blanchet discusses modelling the delay of a deep space IP stack using Linux virtual network methods, and the suitability of QUIC as a transport for applications in space.
Exploring the blind spot of IXPs Route Servers
Guest Post: IRR-based filtering at IXPs often breaks the link between prefixes and their legitimate AS, allowing invalid announcements to slip through. This study measures the issue across many IXPs and offers actionable fixes.
Connecting the Pacific: Infrastructure, operations, and regional cooperation
While capacity and resilience are strengthening, persistent structural challenges continue to shape how gains are realized across the Pacific.

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.
[Podcast] Measuring the use of DNS over IPv6
Geoff Huston explores how DNS operates over IPv6 and the challenges of measuring it. His findings reveal interesting variances by geographic region and network, raising questions about whether IPv6-only DNS is reliable enough to guide future operational practices.
Measuring the use of DNS over IPv6
How much of the Internet user base can reliably access a DNS server where the only form of access is via IPv6?
