Join MANRS – Network Operator

You are here: Home / MANRS for Network Operators / Join MANRS – Network Operator

Requirements for Participation

Join here to show your support for MANRS. You can become a participant if you meet these requirements:

  1. You (or your company) support the MANRS Principles and implement at least one of the Expected Actions for the majority of your infrastructure. Implemented Actions are marked with a check box on the Participants page. “Facilitate global operational communication and coordination between network operators” (“Coordination” in the form below) cannot be the only box checked; another Action must also be implemented. The four Actions are:
    • Filtering – Prevent propagation of incorrect routing information.
    • Anti-spoofing – Prevent traffic with spoofed source IP addresses.
    • Coordination – Facilitate global operational communication and coordination between network operators.
    • Global Validation – Facilitate validation of routing information on a global scale.
  2. You become a Participant of MANRS, helping to maintain and improve the document, for example, by suggesting new Actions and maintaining an up-to-date list of references to Best Current Operational Practices (BCOPs) and other documents with more detailed implementation guidance.

This category is for network operators, or other entities acting in this role (e.g. a network equipment vendor running its own network infrastructure).

  • Action 2: Prevent traffic with spoofed source IP addresses.

    Network operator implements a system that enables source address validation for at least single-homed stub customer networks, their own end-users and infrastructure. Network operator implements anti-spoofing filtering to prevent packets with an incorrect source IP address from entering and leaving the network.
  • Tell us more about how you validate source addresses. This information is used by MANRS to evaluate your application and is not published.
