Topic

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.

DNSViz and the graph that makes DNSSEC failures legible

DNSViz turns one of the internet’s least intuitive failure modes into a picture that operators can investigate. Created by Casey Deccio and publicly operated by DNS-OARC, the open-source project links delegations, keys, signatures and authenticated denial records into an…

Eric Dumazet: Linux server economics through small queues

A busy server can look excellent on throughput charts while still wasting time, memory and processor resources behind its own packets. Eric Dumazet's work on TCP Small Queues, fair queueing, pacing and cache-friendly data structures has made Linux account more strictly for these…

Eric Dumazet and the small queues inside the economics of Linux servers

A very busy server can display excellent throughput and still waste time, memory and CPU behind its own packets. Eric Dumazet's work on TCP Small Queues, fair queueing, pacing and cache-locality-oriented structures helped Linux account for those hidden costs better. It is not the…

One firm accounted for 93.9% of AFRINIC's 2023 legal-fee line. The audit does not show the authority trail

AFRINIC's newly published 2023 finance summary assigns US$1,064,309 of US$1,133,630 in legal fees to C&A Law and says US$1,260,250 was owed to the firm at year-end, excluding VAT. The accounts now carry an unmodified audit opinion. What members still cannot see is the…

The Meaning of “End”: AFRINIC’s Draft 3 and the Discipline of Negative Routing Assertions

One sentence added to an AFRINIC policy proposal in April 2021 drew a vital line: reclaimed number resources should enter the registry’s AS0 coverage only after reclamation ends. That line can protect routing security, but only if “the end” is made into a state that outsiders can…

Kathleen Nichols and the queue delay a fast link cannot hide

Kathleen Nichols’ best-known work changed the variable used to judge a network queue: time, rather than packet count. CoDel made persistent waiting measurable, while leaving deployment dependent on bottleneck placement, responsive senders and maintained implementations.

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'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…
