Join the MANRS Equipment Vendors Program

Action 1. Provide solutions for the implementation of specific MANRS ACTIONS by other participants

Implementation of several actions in existing MANRS Programs (Network Operators, IXPs, CDN and Cloud Providers) depends on the availability of relevant features in the network equipment. In this document we call it a scenario.

Specifically, the following actions require such support:

Scenario	Programme	Action
Scenario 1 Filtering	Network Operators	Action 1. Prevent propagation of incorrect routing information
Scenario 1 Filtering	CDN & Cloud Providers
Scenario 2 Anti-spoofing	Network Operators	Action 2. Prevent traffic with spoofed source IP addresses
Scenario 2 Anti-spoofing	CDN & Cloud Providers	Action 2. Prevent traffic with illegitimate source IP addresses
Scenario 3 Filtering (IXP)	IXPs	Action 1. Prevent propagation of incorrect routing information. (Route Server)
Scenario 4 Protect L2 (IXP)	IXPs	Action 3. Protect the peering platform (layer 2)

Has your organization implemented Action 1? *

Please provide either OS versions and/or product lines of your equipment that supports features necessary for a specific MANRS scenario. Mandatory, at least one scenario should be supported.

Scenario 1

Yes, our equipment implements solutions for preventing propagation of incorrect routing announcements

1. Creating filters based on prefix lists*

2. Creating filters based on as-path*

3. Creating filters based on RPKI*

Applicability

Scenario 2

Yes, our equipment implements solutions for preventing traffic with spoofed source IP addresses

1. Implementing source address validation using uRPF*

2. Implementing source address validation using access lists*

Applicability

Scenario 3

Yes, our equipment can be used as a Route Server and implements solutions for preventing propagation of incorrect routing announcements

1. Creating filters based on prefix lists*

2. Creating filters based on as-path*

3. Creating filters based on RPKI*

Applicability

Scenario 4

Yes, our equipment implements Layer-2 protection of the IXP peering platform

1. Creating controls preventing unwanted traffic.*

For example not allowed Ethernet frame formats, not allowed Ethertypes, link-local protocols, such as IRDP, ICMP redirects, discovery protocols (CDP, EDP), VLAN/trunking protocols (VTP, DTP), BOOTP/DHCP, etc. MAC port security configuration.

Applicability

Action 2. Promote MANRS through training and technical content

Has your organization implemented Action 2?*

Mandatory, at least one of the sub-Actions needs to be implemented.

Action 2-1. We reference MANRS and its implementation in relevant training courses.

This could range from a short introduction to MANRS to a full course on how to implement MANRS actions.

Commitment to ongoing activities*

We commit to active participation in the types of activities below

Advisory: To advise members on how best to use features of routing equipment to achieve the desired results. To review and improve router configuration examples in MANRS documents.
Development: To respond to problem statements of members and to help develop solutions to those problems.
Contribution: To contribute to the development of the MANRS resources, such as the Implementation Guide and the MANRS Virtual Lab.
Promotion: Promote MANRS by various means, such as by indicating vendor participation in MANRS on the corporate website, at customer events, trade shows and other types of relevant activities. Examples are displaying the MANRS logo on the website on vendor’s promotional SWAG, or offering a presentation slot or space for a poster.
