• 4 min read

How do we know when an IXP is working well? What goals should it achieve, and can success be measured in the same way everywhere? A new RIPE NCC report takes a closer look at these questions in the context of the SEE region.

Route server exposure at IXPs leaves peering LANs vulnerable to routing leaks and real-world DDoS attacks. In this article, we talk about how and why it matters.

The IRR Landscape: Where Do ASes Keep Their Routes?

We map where networks actually publish routing data - across RIR-run and third-party IRRs - and how that data is used in practice. Connecting our findings with RPKI growth and exploring regional patterns, we examine legacy space and operational risks to suggest clear clean-up priorities.

CAPIF 4: Grounded in IPv6, Looking to Orbit

Autocast: Automatic Anycast Site Optimisation

Thijs van den Hout

• 30 Sep 2025

• 16 min read

Autocast turns one round of unicast latency measurements into millisecond-accurate predictions, automatically selecting the optimal anycast locations for fast .nl response times worldwide. Pairing simulated annealing with real resolver telemetry, it delivers lean, cost-aware PoP sets - often around…

Live-Event Blocking at Scale: Effectiveness vs. Collateral Damage in Italy’s Piracy Shield

Antonio Prado

• 29 Sep 2025

• 9 min read

Italy’s Piracy Shield blocks IPs and domains within minutes, but measurements performed by researchers at the University of Twente and colleagues show broad collateral damage to legitimate services. We share the results of those measurements in the hopes of sparking a community discussion around th…

Edge Cases in DNSSEC Validation with Multiple Algorithms

Arlin Kokkelmans

• 25 Sep 2025

• 17 min read

As part of our research into post-quantum cryptography (PQC) for DNSSEC, we test PQC as a drop-in replacement for classical algorithms. We explore a transition where both run simultaneously, analysing how resolvers validate records, edge cases, and the feasibility and impact of such a period.

Cyber Risk Is Business Risk: Lessons from the MUSE Cyberattack

Have you heard about MRT dumps, but never tried to use them because the bar seems too high? Or are you tired of doing “parse -> grep -> process” every time you touch BGP MRT dumps? This hands-on guide shows how to load RIS/RouteViews data into ClickHouse - covering tools, schema, and example querie…

CAPIF 4: Advancing Internet Technologies in Central Asia

• 18 Sep 2025

• 13 min read

Ahead of CAPIF 4, we once again pause to examine the latest in Central Asia’s digital transformation. Against a backdrop of deepening regional cooperation, we chart improvements in routing security and IPv6 adoption, while also probing interconnection patterns as seen in K-root data.
