Network-resource Evidence
Within the Topic facet, Network-resource Evidence topic intelligence connects articles that share a specific subject, signal focus, or monitoring theme. The page gives readers a richer path through related reporting, source evidence, market actors, and infrastructure implications, with enough context to understand why the topic matters across company movements, governance decisions, regional exposure, and operational risk. Readers can compare recurring signals, affected organisations, public evidence, market context, service continuity, procurement, competition, compliance, and strategic planning questions behind the subject instead of stopping at a thin list of matching articles. It explains what the topic covers, which infrastructure actors or policies are involved, what evidence supports the coverage, and why the subject may matter for operators, customers, investors, and policy readers.

Poul-Henning Kamp and the performance discipline of doing less
Poul-Henning Kamp’s systems work is held together by a suspicion that software becomes slow and fragile when several layers keep the same state or repeat the same task. His record shows what doing less can gain—and which responsibilities it transfers.

AFRINIC notified members of a no-approval meeting. Its draft minutes record a 99% adoption
AFRINIC's 23 March notice said the 2021 accounts would only be received and noted on 14 April because no approval was required. The draft minutes record a different operative text: receive, note and adopt. They report a 99%-1% poll but publish no ballot totals. That missing…

Five Minutes at the Registry, Longer on the Network
AFRINIC’s second draft of its RPKI AS0 proposal introduced a narrow but important restraint: a separate trust anchor could let networks choose whether to receive the registry-generated warning and let observers measure it apart from ordinary holder authorisations. That choice…

Sally Floyd made congestion control accountable to evidence
Sally Floyd linked router queues, transport feedback, traffic models and standards into a discipline of shared-network responsibility. Her legacy lies less in one celebrated algorithm than in a method for testing throughput, delay, fairness, stability and deployment assumptions…

AFRINIC's current Board is making decisions, but its resolutions archive still stops at 2022
AFRINIC says its Board publishes resolutions and the minutes of the meetings where they were taken. As of 13 August 2026, the page making that promise listed years only through 2022—even though the purported current Board has since announced decisions on management, committees…

Massimo Candela and the interfaces that turn routing data into action
From BGPlay and RIPE Atlas interfaces to BGPalerter and geofeed monitoring, Massimo Candela has built tools that turn partial internet measurements into something operators can investigate. Their value depends on preserving the sources, thresholds and maintenance ownership behind…

The Zero That Had to Move First: AFRINIC’s First AS0 Draft and the Design of Reversible Warning
On 4 November 2019, AFRINIC published its first proposal to originate AS0 ROAs for address space recorded as unallocated. The idea offered operators a useful authenticated warning: ordinary public routing should not emerge from space that the registry ledger said nobody had been…

JANOG58 turned a sponsor annex into its first local-5G operations trial
JANOG58’s most consequential wireless result was not a headline speed test. Faced with an overflow of sponsor booths in a separate annex, the meeting team assembled a licensed local-5G service, provisioned it through CPE routers and operated it across three conference…

Four AS Identities Around Internetmanufaktur Karlsruhe
Public records around Internetmanufaktur Karlsruhe become useful when company chronology, number-resource ledgers, routing observations, exchange metadata and bounded measurements remain separate evidence layers.

AFRINIC called an interim takedown order a legal confirmation. The order says less
The Mauritius Supreme Court temporarily barred Cloud Innovation from falsely attributing judicial approval to AFRINIC-address leasing and ordered related material removed. AFRINIC then presented that ex parte order as confirmation of a wider legal position. The published ruling…

The IPv6 door that opened without an IPv4 past
An African enterprise planning a second upstream faces a deceptively simple choice: accept provider-assigned IPv6 and prepare to renumber if the commercial relationship changes, or seek a provider-independent prefix that can preserve its public network identity across both paths.…

Paolo Lucente built the junction between traffic and routing data
Paolo Lucente’s pmacct sits where packet and flow records acquire routing context. By joining traffic with BGP, BMP, RPKI and operator-defined pipelines, it can support peering and capacity decisions—provided the network preserves sampling, timing and business provenance.

Every open network port needs an owner
A port is only a numbered doorway to a service. The security question is who needs it, who maintains it and how quickly it closes when the service changes.

Claudio Jeker: Maintaining a small, auditable BGP daemon for serious routing
Claudio Jeker has spent more than two decades keeping OpenBGPD small enough to audit and capable enough for serious routing roles. The project’s restraint reduces some software risks, but it cannot simplify BGP policy, routing-security dependencies or the consequences of a bad…

When an audit becomes a claim to power: AFRINIC’s first resource-review draft
On 18 May 2016, four authors published a proposal for AFRINIC to audit the number-resource records of its members. The administrative premise was serious: a registry cannot keep a dependable ledger if it cannot test stale, contradictory or false information. But…
