What Participants Say About MANRS

For Internet Exchange Services Yucatan (IXSY) the adoption of standards and best practices for routing security is very important, because the IXPs are key infrastructure and play an important role in the Internet ecosystem. The adoption of MANRS in IXSY is our contribution to strengthening routing security in the Internet.

PIT Bolivia’s vision is to be a point of reference in the digital environment that contributes to the improvement of the Internet in Bolivia. For this it is vital to implement good international practices to ensure routing between the different Internet agents in Bolivia that exchange traffic.

Our community is in the middle of a major change that aims to strengthen the Internet ecosystem in Panamá, and it is important to get it right. MANRS is one of the mechanisms for implementing routing security best practices and an opportunity to strengthen the community through trust among all local members and international stakeholders.

Maintaining routing security hygiene is one of the most important aspect for a resilient Critical Internet Infrastructure implementation. Being a community IX, joining MANRS program and implementing best practices will go a long way propagating the change within the community. Joining MANRS program and also working with our peers advocating the best practices are one of the key agendas towards a more secured Internet experience in the region.

Having worked for ISPs and NSPs for over 15 years, I’ve seen my share of nasty route leaks and bad announcements in the DFZ. It’s amazing that the internet is built on so much mutual trust between network operators. BGP is inherently insecure, and trusting that all your peers will send you good routing information is just too risky. There needs to be some security standards when connecting networks together, and that’s where MANRS comes in. We figure, there are no organizations more integral to the internet than IXPs, and the reason PhillyIX wanted to join MANRS was to become part of the solution, rather than perpetuate to the problem.

MANRS is committed in making the Global Internet secure.

We believe to securing the Network and Routing Information is responsible for every parties, this is our commitment to educate our partner and customer how important to securing Routing Information on internet
