What Participants Say About MANRS

A newly formed IXP is hard to compete with the existing ones. That’s why we need more modern standard/feature to attract more people to join. Introducing MANRS will be a good feature and also enforce the security of the IXP.

I was working at ISOC when we created MANRS and really should have signed IX-Denver up sooner, we are strong proponents of an open internet for all, and as such want to do everything we can to protect it’s fair use.

The GTIX plays now an important role in Guatemala’s network-wide infrastructure, providing not only traffic exchange between connected members but also services that improve the security and resiliency of Guatemala’s Internet. The Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS) are of utmost importance and align deeply with our goals of network security. The GTIX welcomes the compliance of MANRS and hopes it helps to disseminate this global initiative around the world.

In IXpy we adopt the “Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS)” and recognize the importance of these norms for security enhancement and stability of the global routing system.
We are proud to contribute to Internet routing security through MANRS.

IXSal, 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.

For Arista, security is a key attribute of our overall solution, starting at the routing perimeter for worldwide Internet resiliency. As a global industry leader in cloud networking, we want to take part in the efforts to secure the Internet as well. MANRS is providing great guidelines to achieve that goal and Arista Networks is proud to be a founding participant of the MANRS Vendor Program.

With a greater reliance on the internet now more than ever, it is crucial that the internet is stable and offers secure and trusted methods to connect users. It is the responsibility of the global community to work together to ensure that the whole ecosystem forming the internet works well and is protected against threat actors. Juniper Networks is a proud supporter of the MANRS program and will continue to strive for a better internet in today’s connected world.

Routing security is crucial to Internet security, and that includes network devices (e.g., routers and IXP switches), the foundation of the Internet. Over the years, Huawei has dedicated itself to building secure and reliable network devices and has extensive capabilities and experience in the field. Huawei is honored to join MANRS as an active contributor to Internet security.

GoCache has always been committed to implementing best practices and we strongly believe we can build a secure network if everyone contributes to this same goal. By joining the MANRS community, we reassure this commitment and encourage others to do the same.
