RPKI’s 2023 year in review: Growth, governments, and innovation

Having just closed the 2023 chapter, let’s look back at the previous year. In this post, I’ll share some Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) statistics, summarize highlights from the IETF standards development process, and reflect on emerging trends.

IP addresses through 2023

It’s time for another annual roundup from the world of IP addresses. Let’s see what has changed in the past 12 months in addressing the Internet and how IP address allocation information can inform us of the changing nature of the network itself. Back around 1992, the IETF gazed into their crystal ball and tried to understand how the Internet was going to evolve and what demands that would place on the addressing system as part of the ‘IP Next Generation’ study. The staggeringly large numbers of connected devices that we see today were certainly within the range predicted by that exercise. Doubtless, these device numbers will continue to grow.

In Memoriam: Dave Mills (1938-2024)

The world of the Internet mourns the loss of a pioneering force, as Dave Mills, a luminary in the realm of computer networking, passed away on January 17, 2024, at the age of 86 (announced by Vint Cerf). A trailblazer and visionary, Mills played a pivotal role in shaping the very foundations of the interconnected world we inhabit today. ... Mills’ career was marked by a commitment to collaboration and knowledge-sharing. As a key figure in the IETF, he contributed extensively to the standardization of protocols, fostering an environment of cooperation that has been foundational to the Internet’s growth.

Exploring Telekom Malaysia’s RPKI deployment

Today, the acronyms RPKI and ROA are nothing new to the network engineer. But back when I first learned about them during APNIC 46 in 2018 (where I was a Fellow), those two acronyms were rarely mentioned in Malaysia.

RFC 9490 on Report from the IAB Workshop on Management Techniques in Encrypted Networks (M-TEN)

Abstract: The “Management Techniques in Encrypted Networks (M-TEN)” workshop was convened by the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) from 17 October 2022 to 19 October 2022 as a three-day online meeting. The workshop was organized in three parts to discuss ways to improve network management techniques in support of even broader adoption of encryption on the Internet. This report summarizes the workshop’s discussion and identifies topics that warrant future work and consideration.
