Who’s running all those tiny RPKI servers?
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.
Data synchronization
Distributed systems depend on synchronization, but every approach has tradeoffs. From full copies to delta updates, how do you choose the right method?
ROA adoption barriers to practical planning tools: Reflections from ARIN 57
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.
Hunting stuck routes with the BGP Clock and the BGP Stuck Route Observatory
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.
Your elected leaders: Terry Sweetser, Routing Security SIG Chair
The Internet is built by communities, not just networks. As Routing Security SIG Chair, Terry is focused on strengthening that effort — from advancing RPKI adoption to supporting the next generation of operators.
[Podcast] The Erik protocol: Improving RPKI data fetch
Job Snijders discusses the new ‘Erik’ protocol for faster RPKI repository synchronization.
Ephemeral leaks and automated BGP route leak detection
Guest Post: Many BGP route leaks flagged by automated systems are short-lived artifacts of normal convergence. Doug Madory draws on Cloudflare Radar, RouteViews, and Jared Mauch’s leak detector to show how these ‘ephemeral leaks’ occur, why they rarely disrupt traffic, and why they still matter for routing security.
APNIC and NNIX collaborate to strengthen RPKI and IPv6 deployment in China
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.
Repairing the RPKIViews H1 2026 archives
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.
