Implementation of MANRS Actions

• Action 1: Prevent propagation of incorrect routing information Akamai is working to augment it’s existing mechanisms to support fine-grained filtering on a per peer basis by the end of 2020.
• Action 2: Prevent traffic with spoofed source IP addresses As a content provider, Akamai does not have downstream networks. Traffic leaving the Akamai network is sourced on Akamai’s servers. Those servers are secured, preventing the origination of illegitimate traffic.
• Action 3: Facilitate global operational communication and coordination Akamai maintains a Peeringdb record and actively engages with the Internet community
• Action 4: Facilitate validation of routing information on a global scale Akamai publishes data to help its peers build route filters in the routing registries of the RIRs from which it has been assigned IP space
• Action 5: Encourage MANRS adoption As one of the early participants in the Cloud and CDN initiative Akamai encourages its peers to align their practices and procedures with MANRS recommendations
