Description

Why and what kind of collective effort is needed to improve the security and resilience of the global Internet routing system? One of the approaches is the Routing Resilience Manifesto initiative, which features the Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS) document (https: //www.manrs.org). This initiative launched last year by several leading network operators, combined public commitment, action as well as a minimum baseline for routing security.

Summary

MANRS captures the collaborative spirit that has been a hallmark of the Internet’s growth, and provides motivation and guidance to network operators in addressing issues of security and resilience of the global Internet routing system. MANRS defines a compact and clear set of actions that network operators should implement to improve routing security on their own networks and across the Internet as a whole.

The Routing Resilience Manifesto is more than just the MANRS document, it is a commitment to improve the global Internet. In order to become a participant of this initiative, a network operator has to implement one or more of the identified actions.

This talk will present the initiative, its objective, expected actions and participation requirements as well its further development trajectory. Hopefully it will spark some discussion in the audience regarding the merits of such approach and its efficacy, as well as invite constructive suggestions for improvements and support.
