MANRS Programs

GOLINE firmly believes in initiatives to protect networks, improve security and resilience of the global routing system. Therefore we decided to support the MANRS project and join as participants.

Becoming a member of the MANRS community is a great way to demonstrate Pioneer's commitment to play an active role in maintaining the integrity of the global internet ecosystem.

URAN Association community is participating in MANRS because routing security is a growing area of concern for network operators around the globe. Whether from accidental misconfiguration or malicious hijack, the results are often more than just inconvenient. Joining MANRS and the Internet2 community’s efforts connect us with a community of security-minded professionals and organizations committed to making the global routing infrastructure more robust and secure.

Making the Internet a safer place than it is today is a goal shared by many participants of the industry. We at LU-CIX try to help wherever we can, and certainly would like to add our own homework to the goal. Therefore we think that MANRS is a very worthwhile initiative that brings together in one set of guidance rules many of the industry best practices, and also allows us to publicly show our support for a safer Internet.

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.

As one of the leading FTTH providers in the Nordic countries, we at Altibox care a great deal about speed and capacity. And because we constantly strive to attain the safest and most reliable Internet service for our customers, we have adhered to MANRS in an effort to keep revitalizing our worldwide community while building greater trust between each other.

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.

Maintaining routing security hygiene is one of the most important aspects for a resilient Critical Internet Infrastructure implementation. Being a community IX, joining the MANRS program and implementing best practices will go a long way in propagating the change within the community. Joining MANRS and also working with our peers advocating the best practices are one of the key agendas towards a more secured Internet experience in the region.

The reliability and security of the internet is a big concern for us! Belgium is only a small country, having a trustworthy connection to other national and international operators should be of key strategic importance for everyone. We hope with doing our small part that we can help the internet forward.

We fully agree with the general guidelines of the MANRS initiative, since we have always ensured our state of the art network follows security best practices. Forthnet believes that improvement of routing security will happen through cooperation and being part of that effort is the right thing to do.

ColoClue strongly believes in making the internet better by implementing security features sooner rather than later. We've been doing strict filtering based on IRR data for a long time; when RPKI became a thing, we soon implemented that too. We believe that the objectives of MANRS perfectly align with the goals of ColoClue, so it only makes sense to join!

I believe it is in the worlds best interest to make an effort to ensure stability and security at all levels for providers. It is our job to ensure our services, our products, are helping, and not hindering, by connecting to the world. We do our best as a provider to follow this mentality and pass it on to our customers and our peers. We believe that joining MANRS will help spotlight these ideals.
