Cloud WAN vs Transit VPC: Why LexisNexis Switched

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

LexisNexis Risk Solutions replaced fragile virtual router instances with a resilient global backbone to eliminate single points of failure. This migration proves that legacy Transit VPC architectures can no longer sustain the dynamic routing demands of modern, regulated data analytics. The article demonstrates how shifting to AWS Cloud WAN streamlines management while introducing critical traffic inspection capabilities previously impossible with static VPN tunnels.

SCION routing fixes BGP's 40-year security gap

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Over 7,000 route entries remained invalid in March 2020 despite decades of patch attempts. The Border Gateway Protocol fundamentally lacks native mechanisms to verify address ownership, rendering current fixes like RPKI insufficient against sophisticated route hijacks. While extensions such as BGPsec attempt to secure the AS_PATH attribute, they impose heavy computational overhead and fail to address the core architectural rot of a forty-year-old system.

BGP visibility gaps: Why legacy tools miss leaks

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Covering less than 2% of Autonomous Systems, legacy collectors like RIPE RIS and RouteViews leave the internet blind to most routing anomalies. RIPE's routing information service ris The bgproutes. Io platform argues that maximizing vantage point diversity through BMP aggregation is the only viable path to true routing security. As global traffic surges toward 602.1 exabytes monthly in 2026, the traditional trade-off between data retention and coverage creates dangerous visibility gaps that attackers exploit.

Legacy IRR filtering fails operators today

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Legacy IRR filtering fails because a single ASN cannot define distinct prefix sets for different neighbors. This architectural rigidity forces operators to apply loose, universal filters that expose networks to unauthorized route leaks and mis-originations. Italo Cunha highlights that maintaining sixteen route6 objects just to announce a /44 IPv6 prefix at /48 granularity exemplifies the unmanageable overhead plaguing current AS-set deployments.

RIPE Arbiters Panel: Who Resolves IP Conflicts in 2026?

The RIPE NCC seeks volunteers by 6 March 2026 to fill its Arbiters Panel for critical internet governance disputes. Ripe 848

ARIN Legacy Addresses: The 2026 Reality Check

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

On January 13, 2026, ARIN fulfilled 149 waiting list requests using just 59 reclaimed IPv4 blocks. ARIN's ip addresses through 2025 This distribution event highlights the critical reality that cleared legacy resources remain the primary lifeline for enterprise connectivity despite decades of IPv6 advocacy.
