What Participants Say About MANRS

iWayAfrica Kenya believes that the MANRS project is critical in today’s global Internet ecosystem, and want to play our part in making the Internet routing security landscape better for all.

Telia Carrier’s mission is to provide exceptional network infrastructure and services – empowering individuals, businesses and societies to execute their most critical activities. As digitalization transforms our everyday lives, connectivity cannot be compromised. We are very pleased to support the MANRS initiative and the ongoing quest to secure a reliable and scalable Internet ecosystem for generations to come.

CATNIX would like to join the MANRS initiative as an IXP. CATNIX is managed by CSUC, the Consortium that provids Services to the Universities in Catalonia (AS13041). CSUC’s AS is already in MANRS as an ISP. Members know about the existence of the initiative and would also like as to join it as an IXP.

Indiana GigaPOP believes in positive reputation for our network and our members, insuring we do the utmost to protect their organizations and provide the best service possible.  We also believe in supporting global routing best practices and feel MANRS is a great step towards a better environment for all.

Connecticut 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.

The Internet is critical for business today. As an IXP we have a responsibility to provide the best routes for our members. Joining MANRS is a step forward in implementing good practices and building a trusted Internet.

We believe that network operators worldwide have the responsibility to make the internet safer place for everyone! For us the actions outlined within the MANRS document are not something optional, instead they should be obligatory for every network participating in the global internet. We actively try to etablish awareness about MANRS and the importance of securing the internet among our customers as well as other network operators.

MANRS documents what we have been doing for well over a decade – ever since the early 2000s. Namely, having multiple layers of protection (communities, prefix-lists, AS-path filters) to avoid route leaks, spoofed IP traffic, and to clearly communicate our routing policy to our peers and enable them to build their own prefix and AS-path lists for us off the RADB entries dynamically.
