Testimonials
SUNET is committed to robust global routing polices and MANRS is one of the best initiatives so far to help out operators with this. We hope with our participation that more of the R&E sector will sign up and live up to the norms. We hope that in the future MANRS will be the standard, not the exception.
Network Architect, SUNETWe, at NIX.CZ, believe internet security is very important. For this reason we do our best to secure internet exchange in Prague with best in class security policies. Our aim is to deliver stable, reliable and secure platform for data exchange.
CTO, NIX.CZ, z.s.p.o.The MANRS IXP Initiative brings together in one place, in an easy to access form, all of the relevant information on routing security best practice for our members. We incorporate the MANRS material into our training courses and guidance, to provide our members with a consistent approach to routing security and BGP policy best practice.
Senior Network Engineer, LONAPWe believe that Internet is a community where everyone has to contribute to have a more secure Internet infrastructure. We are committed to making our part for a global routing infrastructure more robust and secure.
Gigastream is firmly committed to the underlying principles of the MANRS initiative and supports the community's efforts to increase the security, stability and dependability of the Internet. Through our participation in the MANRS initiative we hope to promote these efforts and encourage others to join us in doing so.
Director, Gigastream plcRENU joins MANRS to improve its security posture on the internet by acting upon and deploying MANRS actions that can improve the security of the global routing table. For a long time, multiple routing incidents such as route hijacks, route leaks and IP address spoofing have occurred on the internet causing network outages and cost implications to many companies. RENU also wants to ease collaboration with other network operators thus encouraging stability and reliability on the internet.
Senior Networks Engineer - Research and Education Network for Uganda (RENU)Internet routing security is, unfortunately, one of the major vulnerabilities of the cyberspace. All network operators need to take actions to mitigate the routing security issue. MANRS principles will be an important component to improve global routing security. It is our obligation and honor to join MANRS.
Anexia believes that routing security is imperative for the sustainability of the global communications network. By joining MANRS we express our intent to contribute to a trustworthy environment for all participants.
Senior Network Engineer, IP EngineeringIXSal, the first IXP in operation for El Salvador, has come a long way in order to get the early adopters together, interconnected, and exchanging traffic. We are aiming at getting more local operators connected, and one of the key added values we offer is our adhesion to world security and stability standards and good practices. For sure, MANRS is one of those practices and guidelines that help us make the Internet traffic more secure in El Salvador, and thus we are confident that, by complying with MANRS, we contribute to a better Internet for all.
Executive DirectorComcast is committed to helping drive improvements to the reliability of the Internet ecosystem. We are thrilled to be engaged with other infrastructure participants across the spectrum and around the globe in pursuit of these goals.
Vice President, Internet Services, ComcastConnecticut Education Network originated as a research & education network and now functions as a Tier 2 ISP for multiple industry verticals. Responsible safeguards on the signaling plane ensure we're not contributing to the spoofing/hijacking problem, and membership in MANRS reflect our commitment to making the Internet a better place for our members and their constituents.
