In this blog post, BGP experts Doug Madory of Kentik and Job Snijders of Fastly update their RPKI ROV analysis from last year while discussing its impact on internet routing security.

Peering evaluations are now so much easier. PeeringDB, the database of networks and the go-to location for interconnection data, is now integrated into Kentik and available to all Kentik customers at no additional cost.

We access most of the applications we use today over the internet, which means securing global routing matters to all of us. Surprisingly, the most common method is through trust relationships. MANRS, or the Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security, is an initiative to secure internet routing through a community of network practitioners to facilitate open communication, accountability, and the sharing of information.

Didn’t have time to watch our two recent webinars on the top trends network operators need to know about to be successful in 2023? We’ve got you covered. Let’s look at the biggest takeaways and break down some key concepts.

Analyzing multiple databases using multiple tools on multiple screens is error-prone, slow, and tedious at best. Yet, that’s exactly how many network operators perform analytics on the telemetry they collect from switches, routers, firewalls, and so on. A unified data repository unifies all of that data in a single database that can be organized, secured, queried, and analyzed better than when working with disparate tools.

Predictability in network flows is the ability to consistently deliver traffic from one point to another, even in the face of disruptions. Yet, establishing predictability has its share of challenges. Learn all about resilience in networking and how it relates to redundancy.

What do network operators want most from all their hard work? The answer is a stable, reliable, performant network that delivers great application experiences to people. In daily network operations, that means deep, extensive, and reliable network observability. In other words, the answer is a data-driven approach to gathering and analyzing a large volume and variety of network telemetry so that engineers have the insight they need to keep things running smoothly.
