Using QUIC Backscatter to Infer Hypergiant Deployment Configurations

Author image
Jonas Mücke

10 min read

QUIC enhances privacy, but passive measurements still reveal deployment details. Using network telescope data, we analyse QUIC behaviour across major content providers and validate our findings with flow data and active measurements.

Towards Understanding City-Level Routing Using BGP Location Communities

Author image
Thomas Krenc

5 min read

BGP location communities offer a rare glimpse into where networks actually interconnect, but most remain undocumented and opaque. This work shows that, by exploiting a measurable spatial signal in routing data, it is possible to infer their city-level meaning at scale using only passive observation…

Introducing Region Meshes: Visualising Intra-Region Routing Paths

Author image
Stephen Suess

7 min read

Region Meshes is a new RIPE Atlas tool that visualises intra-region routing paths, showing where traffic stays local, where it leaves, and how IXPs are being used.

Noisy Routers: Investigating the Make-Up of Route Collector Data

Author image
Ebrima Jaw

11 min read

Analysis of 80B+ BGP updates shows repeated "noise" is highly concentrated in a small set of peers, sessions, and prefixes, inflating datasets. Researchers from Twente, CAIDA, SIDN Labs, and IIJ examine impacts on measurement and operations.

Beyond the Network View: DNS-Driven Application Visibility

Author image
Danny Lachos

6 min read

Network operators often lack visibility into which applications drive their traffic. We present an open-source DNS-based correlation method that enriches NetFlow and BGP data with application and CDN information. This enables a shift from a network-centric to an application-oriented view of traffic.

Make This One Change to Prevent Routing Loops in Your Network

Author image
Maynard Koch

5 min read

Routing loops can trap packets between routers, preventing them from reaching their destination. In some cases, routers even duplicate looping packets, amplifying traffic and threatening Internet stability. We look at how this happens and how operators can prevent it.

When ToR Instability Collapses Cross-Rack Redundancy Without Breaching SLA

Author image
Ruslan Seyidov

7 min read

This article examines a two-rack deployment where ToR instability quietly collapsed redundancy while SLA metrics remained within bounds, revealing how service-level monitoring can mask structural risk.
