Unlocking Digital Growth: The Role of IXPs in South East Europe

Author image
Jelena Cosic

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.

The IRR Landscape: Where Do ASes Keep Their Routes?

Author image
Stavros Konstantaras

18 min read

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.

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

Author image
Antonio Prado

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

Author image
Arlin Kokkelmans

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.

Working with BGP Data

14 min read

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…

Quantum-Safe Security is a Toolbox, Not a Single Solution

Author image
Melchior Aelmans

7 min read

Quantum-safe security is less about a single breakthrough and more about assembling the right mix of tools. This article explores why a flexible, multi-layered approach is the key to preparing our digital infrastructure as we head into the post-quantum future.

Discovering the Discovery of Designated Resolvers

Author image
Yevheniya Nosyk

6 min read

DNS encryption is gaining momentum with proposed standards such as DoT, DoH, and DoQ protecting DNS exchanges from external observers. But these standards introduce non-trivial changes to the original specification. Here we look at the Discovery of Designated Resolvers (DDR) - a mechanism that all…
