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…

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…

AFRINIC called an interim takedown order a legal confirmation. The order says less

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.

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…
