Guest Post: Small RPKI publication servers comprise a quiet but important part of the Internet’s trust infrastructure. Understanding who operates these servers, and why, helps reveal both strengths and gaps in today’s routing security.
Distributed systems depend on synchronization, but every approach has tradeoffs. From full copies to delta updates, how do you choose the right method?
Guest Post: Even operators with strong BGP knowledge tend to create ROAs infrequently and may lack deep familiarity with their behaviour. ROOTBEER helps operators understand what to consider when creating ROAs.
Guest Post: BGP stuck routes remain an important problem for network operators. To help bridge this visibility gap, Cisco ThousandEyes introduced a methodology for measuring the prevalence of stuck routes: The BGP Clock.
Job Snijders discusses the new ‘Erik’ protocol for faster RPKI repository synchronization.
APNIC and NNIX have signed an MoU to advance RPKI and IPv6 deployment in China, including plans for an RPKI repository mirror in Hangzhou — the first of its kind in the region. The partnership combines infrastructure, training, and community engagement to support a more secure and resilient regional Internet.
Guest Post: RPKIViews captures the constantly changing global RPKI dataset without storing wasteful full snapshots. By using CCRs, deduplication, and high-efficiency compression, rpkispools make long-term RPKI research practical at scale.
Strengthening routing security is increasingly critical, and APNIC’s tools are helping operators protect their networks with clearer, more reliable validation and visibility.
APNIC welcomed delegates from Xiong’an New Area to present the IPv6 City Plaque and discuss continued technical cooperation. The visit highlighted Xiong’an’s large‑scale IPv6 deployment and its 2026 Future City competitions.
Guest Post: A short BGP hijack in 2025 showed how routing security can fail when attackers exploit weaknesses in provider onboarding.
