MANRS for Network Operators
Apply NowNetwork operators have a collective responsibility to ensure a globally robust and secure routing infrastructure. Your network’s safety depends on a routing infrastructure that weeds out bad actors and accidental misconfigurations that wreak havoc on the Internet. The more network operators work together, the fewer incidents there will be, and the less damage they can do.
The MANRS Network Operators Program defines the minimum steps network operators like Internet Service Providers should take to ensure the security and resilience of the Internet’s global routing system.
Actions
- Filtering. Ensure the correctness of your own announcements and those from your customers to adjacent networks
- Anti-spoofing. Enable source address validation for at least single-homed stub customer networks, their own end-users, and infrastructure
- Coordination. Maintain globally accessible, up-to-date contact information in common routing databases.
- Global information. Publish your data so others can validate
Implementation Guide
An Implementation Guide documents deployment of MANRS Actions and is targeted at stub networks and small providers. The document also assists in checking if the network setup is compliant with MANRS.
Testimonials
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.
Connecticut Education Network originated as a research & education network and now functions as a Tier 2 ISP for multiple industry verticals. Responsible safeguards on the signaling plane ensure we're not contributing to the spoofing/hijacking problem, and membership in MANRS reflect our commitment to making the Internet a better place for our members and their constituents.
Good network routing practice is the fundamental requirement for trust between providers, and ultimately creates a safer and stronger internet for customers. KPN is committed to providing secure and trustworthy communications, and by joining partners in MANRS, we continue to improve security and resiliency for all.
Chief Information Security Officer, KPNAdherence 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.
Claranet GroupWe believe the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet operation can be improved via distributed and shared responsibilities as documented in MANRS. As one of the largest academic networks in the world, CERNET is committed to the MANRS actions.
Deputy Director, CERNETInternet routing security is, unfortunately, one of the major vulnerabilities of the cyberspace. All network operators need to take actions to mitigate the routing security issue. MANRS principles will be an important component to improve global routing security. It is our obligation and honor to join MANRS.
As part of APNIC’s Vision: A global, open, stable, and secure Internet that serves the entire Asia Pacific community, APNIC would like to join the Internet Society’s MANRS initiative to support and contribute to reduce the most common routing threats. APNIC works extensively to assist our Members with improving their routing security to ensure the Internet is secure and safe to use.
APNICWe believe that Internet is a community where everyone has to contribute to have a more secure Internet infrastructure. We are committed to making our part for a global routing infrastructure more robust and secure.
Anexia believes that routing security is imperative for the sustainability of the global communications network. By joining MANRS we express our intent to contribute to a trustworthy environment for all participants.
Senior Network Engineer, IP EngineeringWe at Brphonia understand and contribute to the dissemination of good practices, which makes the internet safer for us and our customers. Given this importance, we join the MANRS partners.
Network AnalystMazeda Networks has endeavored to keep up a safe and flexible network, conveying the most refreshed prescribed procedures and, as a National ISP Network, spreading them to its clients so as to get from them a dedication of sending these accepted procedures in their systems also. Holding fast to MANRS activity fortifies this position.
