by Alun Davies 05 May '26

05 May '26

Dear colleagues, Here’s a quick round-up of what we’ve been publishing on RIPE Labs over the past couple of weeks: - Questioning the IPv8 Proposal A critical look at the IPv8 proposal and why trying to solve everything all at once might not be the answer. - Making Resource Holders Easier to Identify: Introducing reg-nr in the RIPE Database A simple change that makes it much easier to identify who is actually behind Internet resources. - From BGP Data to Insight: Simplifying Real-Time Routing Analysis On making real-time BGP data easier to explore, understand, and act on. - The Internet’s New Builders On how the companies driving Internet traffic are increasingly the ones building the infrastructure behind it. - ADoX Deployment in the Wild Even with QUIC’s privacy features, passive measurements can still reveal how large networks are built. - Understanding DDoS Scrubbing in BGP: Five Leading Scrubbers Using BGP data to identify how five major providers handle DDoS mitigation in practice. - Using QUIC Backscatter to Infer Hypergiant Deployment Configurations On how backscatter data can uncover how hypergiants deploy QUIC in the real world. - Towards Understanding City-Level Routing Using BGP Location Communities On what BGP communities can tell us about routing behaviour at the city level. You can find them all here: https://labs.ripe.net/ Happy reading, and as always, all comments and contributions are very welcome! Kind regards, Alun Davies RIPE Labs Editor RIPE NCC
