MANRS Programs

The University of Maine System is a strong supporter of the MANRS initiative and will follow its guidance to assist in the stabilization of the routing infrastructure of the Internet.

Adherence to MANRS is an important commitment that operators make back to the Internet community. Together we aim to remove the havens from which miscreants maintain the freedom and anonymity to attack our network and our customers.

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.

Being MANRS compliant not only improves our routing security capabilities, but has the potential to help other networks to improve theirs and is an opportunity for Akamai to make a significant contribution to the improvement of global routing security.

It is in everyone's best interest to keep the internet clean. By doing our part and conforming to the objectives stated by MANRS, we can reduce the impact of intended and unintended misconfigurations and the risk of abuse of internet resources and we hope that others will do so as well.

RENU 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.

The Internet is humanity's greatest collective work! For Azion that is part of this ecosystem, of this collective work and ensuring that Internet traffic is routed reliably worldwide is an essential element for a reliable global Internet. Based on common network operating practices currently in effect, the global Internet routing system does not have sufficient security controls to prevent the injection of false routing information. The lack of these controls creates a significant vulnerability, which can result in thousands of traffic incidents. The MANRS initiative, promoted by the Internet Society, overcomes this collective problem by establishing a security baseline with concrete actions for network operators. The actions are supported by a growing community of more than 200 networks worldwide. Currently, there are more than 7,000 autonomous systems in Brazil, country of Azion's origin, with only 33 of these autonomous systems participating in MANRS. The idea is to expand the number of companies involved so that, together, they can work to make the Internet a safe environment. This is Azion's main objective in participating in MANRS.

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.

Foton Telecom, CJSC (AS42861) is dedicated to providing secure and robust internet infrastructure for its customers. We believe that routing security is imperative for the sustainability of the global communications network. Maintaining Internet routing security is our shared responsibility. By joining MANRS and adopting its recommended practices, we committed to enhanced our network and we express our intent to contribute to build a strong and secure foundation for the Internet.

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.

Comcast 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.

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.
