Euro-IX Forum

The European Internet Exchange Association (Euro-IX) invites 83 IXPs from around the world. It was formed in May 2001 with the intention to develop, strengthen and improve the Internet Exchange Point (IXP) community. A number of IXPs recognised a need to combine their resources in order to coordinate technical standards, develop common procedures, share and publish statistics and other useful information. This gives all better insights into the world of IXPs.

Andrei Robachevsky spoke at this event on Working Together to Improve Routing Security for All

Here’s what he spoke about: 

What factors could encourage network operators to collaborate to solve routing security challenges? Could there be a systematic approach to addressing these issues among independent and even competing entities?

One such approach is Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security – MANRS – a global initiative that works to implement crucial fixes needed to eliminate the most common routing threats.

In this session, Andrei Robachevsky looked at the scale of the problem and discuss how various entities – IXPs, ISPs, CDNs and Cloud providers, etc. – can put their efforts together in a win-win game for routing security and the Internet.
