Cisco opens office in Heraklion, Crete, taking its CodeBGP acquisition further! ✂️

Yes, you’ve read that right! Your favorite holiday destination, also becoming an emerging tech hub ;)

Four years ago we partnered with an ambitious technical team, embarking to secure the bedrock of internet infrastructure.

The founders loved their island, their team and their code (not sure in what order ;)

And, guess what, a bit further down the road...

- Their code is now advancing the best part of internet's routing across the globe, with Cisco being its largest enabler & the creator of the BGP protocol itself!

- Their team runs super-critical resources and will be expanding substantially under Cisco's newly established hub of excellence;

- And their beloved island, following them as a role model, will be thriving with more startups soon!🤞🏽

This is true On Time Delivery, gentlemen – congrats and kudos to you!

We're glad to see the US Gov prioritizing routing security in federal networks, which we believe will help drive the progress MANRS has described and advocated for in private sector and other governments.

Taking self-adjusting networks to the next phase, from protocols and topologies to learning-augmented systems. Vamsi presented his research agenda at @ACMSIGCOMM HotNets 2024! More at https://t.co/BTNatpSdS0 🤘Vamsi will be on the job market this cycle. @Vamsi_DT

[BGPKIT @bgpkit]

BGPKIT Broker status page rewritten in #Svelte5 and now includes a new table showing all collector peers information, including their IP, ASN, number of v4/v6 prefixes they see. It now also shows the full-feed peers currently out there. Check it out at https://t.co/sd5Gv7zOyw

@georgetasioulis @anurag_bhatia Hey George, thanks for posting Anurag! More is coming up 😊

[Thomas King @thking]

AWS is moving away from 10G to 400G PNIs. If the peer does not support this, traffic will be exchanged via IXPs or even transit, as presented by Frederik from @AWS at #EPF! #peeringfamily

[White House Office of the National Cyber Director @ONCD]

Today we took an important step towards securing the foundation of the internet. ONCD's Border Gateway Protocol Roadmap along with our public-private working group, is taking on a hard problem that has long-threatened the security of internet traffic. https://t.co/qsfHxbtXxN

[Mingwei 🦀🦋 @heymingwei]

The new Internet Health Report website from @iijlab by @romain_fontugne and his team is seriously impressive. They bring the power of their Internet yellow page to the site and it's such a information RICH tool. Great work! https://t.co/vwZS7qQW6B

With immense gratitude and excitement, I’m thrilled to announce that BastionZero is now part of Cloudflare!

This is an incredible opportunity to take our tech to the the next level as we deeply integrate into the world’s largest SASE network. Watch this space!

[Lefteris Manassakis @leftman76]

@goldbe Heartfelt congratulations Sharon! 🎉 Well deserved

[Mingwei 🦀🦋 @heymingwei]

Per this FCC notice, 9 largest US service providers need to submit annual and quarterly *confidential* reports on BGP security. No major cloud-service providers included (e.g. AWS or GCP). RPKI ROA rate targets above 90%, no specfic ROV target.

[APNIC @apnic]

With @bgpkit Monocle, users can glance at routing stats for any ASN, economy, or the whole Internet or look up prefix origins and examine their #RPKI validation status as well as prefix visibility on global routing tables, writes @heymingwei 🙌 https://t.co/5GPwdBxzkH

[Lefteris Manassakis @leftman76]

Blog post alert! 📣
At @thousandeyes, we are rolling out a new real-time BGP monitoring infrastructure, originally developed by @CodeBGP. In this post, we discuss the reasons for this initiative, the challenges we faced, and the solutions implemented.
