The RIPE Labs article competition for RIPE 93 is closed and the results are in!
The winning article is When Traceroutes Lie: How TTL Jumps Can Give Us a False Impression of the Internet’s Topology by Sebastian Kappes - a fascinating look at how routers can manipulate TTL values and distort the network topology we think we see in traceroute measurements.
Runner-up prize goes to Matthias Wichtlhuber and colleagues for The IRR Landscape: What RPKI Can Replace, third and final part of the series, where they ask which parts of the IRR ecosystem can already be replaced safely by RPKI, and which still cannot.
Many thanks to all entrants for their contributions, and congratulations to the winners!
