    LACNIC 43 focuses on routing security and IPv6 at Bogotá event

    • LACNIC 43 highlights security and IPv6 progress across Latin America and the Caribbean at key regional summit.
    • Community discussions underline need for RPKI adoption and interregional cooperation on critical internet infrastructure.

    What happened: Regional experts tackle routing integrity, IPv6 growth and internet governance at Latin America’s flagship infrastructure summit.

    The 43rd LACNIC conference was held in Bogotá, Colombia from 6 to 10 May 2025, drawing technical and policy professionals to discuss internet infrastructure across Latin America and the Caribbean. Hosted by LACNIC, the event covered key topics including routing security, IPv6 deployment, and internet measurement.

    Highlights included a dedicated panel on the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) to improve routing integrity. Presenters from Colombia’s Ministry of ICT, LACNIC, and academic networks explored national and regional RPKI adoption trends. Elsewhere, speakers addressed interconnection strategies, IPv6 growth, and collaboration between regional internet registries. Workshops by APNIC and other partners supported operator training and community exchange.

    LACNIC also facilitated its Policy Forum and reports from the Internet Governance Forum and Network Operators Group (LACNOG), alongside updates on gender inclusion initiatives and new research platforms like the Center for Internet Measurement (CIMA).

    Why this is important

    LACNIC 43 underscored both progress and challenges in building a resilient internet in a region marked by infrastructure disparities. Routing security remains a global concern, especially as malicious BGP hijacks continue to disrupt traffic flows. The conference’s emphasis on RPKI reflects a broader push towards verified route origins, mirroring initiatives in other regions such as RIPE NCC’s RPKI campaigns and MANRS adoption.

    IPv6 adoption was another focal point. Latin America has seen steady gains, with Brazil and Mexico among the top adopters. However, the region still trails North America and Europe in overall deployment, creating potential barriers to long-term internet growth. The CIMA platform aims to close some of these gaps by enhancing visibility into network performance and resilience.

    Despite the technical nature of LACNIC events, the Bogotá gathering revealed growing political awareness of internet stability and sovereignty. That trend was seen in the presence of national ICT officials and policy advocates. With geopolitical tensions shaping digital governance globally, regional forums like LACNIC are becoming strategic arenas for shaping internet futures.
