BGP data: Filtering the 50% of routing noise

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A single peer, AS140627, generated 2.93 billion updates in one day, exposing the sheer scale of pathological BGP noise.

While the global enterprise networking market expands, the fundamental data powering these networks is increasingly corrupted by peers that flood collectors with repeated announcements reflecting no actual topological change. Ebrima Jaw and collaborators at RIPE NCC and the University of Oregon demonstrate that this concentration of noise inflates storage costs and obscures genuine routing intelligence within MRT archives.

CHINOG 2026: Real MPLS Shifts I See

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The CHI-NOG 13 submission deadline of April 6, 2026, demands immediate attention from operators navigating a $723.78 billion global market projection. Readers will examine how regional groups drive consensus on Segment Routing and zero-trust architectures, moving these from theoretical concepts to mandatory deployment patterns in large-scale environments. The discussion details the specific mechanical shifts required to support AI workloads, analyzing the transition from general datacenter fabrics to specialized high-performance interconnects demanded by modern compute clusters.

APNIC IPv6 /32 vs /36: Why I Back the Larger Block

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

APNIC serves over four billion people, yet debates persist on reducing minimum IPv6 address blocks to a /36. APNIC's ip addresses through 2025

RDAP and JSON: Handling 65 Billion Monthly Queries

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

With 374 gTLDs disabling legacy services by September 2025, the Registration Data Access Protocol is now the mandatory backbone for internet identity. The era of unstructured text lookups has ended, replaced by a rigid, machine-readable architecture designed to handle the deluge of AI-driven infrastructure demands. We dissect the strategic pivot triggered when ICANN removed contractual obligations for WHOIS in January 2025, a move that caused query volumes to plummet 60% within eight months. You will examine the technical transition toward JSContact standards, which resolve long-standing privacy and formatting deficiencies inherent in the previous protocol. The data reveals a stark reality: automation drives this ecosystem, with monthly queries surging from seven billion to 65 billion in less than a year according to ICANN reports. As ARIN maintains steady query rates and bootstrapping services like rdap. Org handle millions of requests, the industry has effectively silenced the noisy, inefficient past. This is not merely a protocol upgrade; it is the essential plumbing required to sustain global connectivity as spending on artificial intelligence approaches $2.5 trillion.
