NLNOG Day 2026
by Teun Vink (Stichting NLNOG) 24 Aug '26

24 Aug '26

Hi all, Hoi allemaal, hi all! (English text can be found below) Over iets meer dan een week is het zo ver, en vind NLNOG Day 2026 plaats in Gooiland te Hilversum! Afgelopen week is het programma afgerond, en dit jaar denken we weer een hele mooie selectie sprekers klaar te hebben staan. Het volledige programma kan je vinden op https://nlnog.net/events/nlnog-day-2026/ . Inschrijven kan nog! Meestal zijn we rond deze tijd 'uitverkocht', maar door de grotere locatie is er nog ruimte. We willen je wel vragen om, als je komt, je snel in te schrijven - zodat we rekening kunnen houden met de catering en t-shirts. Je kan je registreren via https://nlnog.net/tickets . Als je een ticket hebt maar toch niet komt verzoeken we je om dit te annuleren. Afgelopen jaar hebben we het eerst gewerkt met vrijwilligers om te helpen met de voorbereiding en op de dag zelf. Dat beviel goed, dus doen we dat dit jaar weer. Mocht je zin en tijd hebben om te helpen bij NLNOG Day 2026, laat het ons dan even weten via stichting(a)nlnog.net . We zien jullie graag vrijdag 4 September in Gooiland, Hilversum (Let op, dit is dus niet in Amsterdam :) ). Tot dan! (English) In little over a week it's time for NLNOG Day 2026 in Gooiland, Hilversum! Last week the programme was finalized, and we think we've prepared a very nice selection of speakers again. The full programme can be found at https://nlnog.net/events/nlnog-day-2026/ . You can still register! Usually we are 'sold out' around this time, but due to the bigger location there are tickets available still. We would like to ask you (if you want to come) to register, so we can take this into account in catering and t-shirt preparation and orders. You can register via https://nlnog.net/tickets . If you do have a ticket but can’t make it, please cancel the ticket. Last year we've (for the first time) worked with volunteers to help with preparation and assistance on the day itself. This worked really well, so we'd love to do that again this year. Should you want to help with NLNOG Day 2026, please let us know via stichting(a)nlnog.net . We'd love to see you on Friday the 4th of September in Gooiland, Hilversum (note: so this is NOT Amsterdam :) ). See you then! Met vriendelijke groet, kind regards, Het NLNOG Bestuur / The NLNOG Board

OARC 47 Call for Contribution - less than two weeks to go before the CfP closes on 24th August!
by Willem Toorop 12 Aug '26

12 Aug '26

The OARC 47 Call for Contributions is open but is closing soon - if you are planning to submit a talk, please don't leave it too late and miss the deadling! This workshop will be a hybrid event. Date - 09-10 November 2026 Location - Vancouver, British Columbia Times - approximately 10:00-17:00 PDT (Local time PDT is UTC -7; note that British Columbia has opted to remain on PDT all year round) Deadline for Submissions - 2026-08-24 23:59 UTC https://indico.dns-oarc.net/event/58/abstracts/ All DNS-related subjects and discussion topics are welcome although we're particularly keen to hear more about operational and security related experiences, best practices and practical advice; both for newcomers to the DNS arena and those who have been around for longer who want to learn more about new features and opportunities to improve resilience, security and privacy. (These topics we think will complement the usual high-quality data-based research submissions we always hope to receive!)

Spoofer Report for NLNOG for Jul 2026
by CAIDA Spoofer Project 08 Aug '26

08 Aug '26

In response to feedback from operational security communities, CAIDA's source address validation measurement project (https://spoofer.caida.org) is automatically generating monthly reports of ASes originating prefixes in BGP for systems from which we received packets with a spoofed source address. We are publishing these reports to network and security operations lists in order to ensure this information reaches operational contacts in these ASes. This report summarises tests conducted within nld. Inferred improvements during Jul 2026: none inferred Source Address Validation issues inferred during Jul 2026: ASN Name First-Spoofed Last-Spoofed 39647 REDHOSTING 2019-12-02 2026-07-11 3920 IMS-RTFM 2023-10-06 2026-07-04 39686 ASN-EUROFIBER 2025-04-28 2026-07-14 35316 PRODACOM 2025-12-17 2026-07-27 60781 LEASEWEB-NL-AMS-01 2026-02-08 2026-07-05 906 2026-03-14 2026-07-26 32519 DMITI-SERVICES 2026-03-28 2026-07-11 6206 PARK-3 2026-04-30 2026-07-31 204983 Cyberfusion 2026-07-07 2026-07-07 47216 CVKS-MSK-IX 2026-07-11 2026-07-19 Further information for these tests where we received spoofed packets is available at: https://spoofer.caida.org/recent_tests.php?country_include=nld&no_block=1 Please send any feedback or suggestions to spoofer-info(a)caida.org

Help us identify community-driven sessions for the November 11 following OARC 47
by Willem Toorop 23 Jul '26

23 Jul '26

Hi, We are planning to offer a full day of community-driven sessions on Wednesday, 11 November, immediately following the main OARC 47 workshop. We'd like to hear from the broader DNS and Internet operations community. What topics or activities would you like to see happen, and what could be realistically organized—or that you would be interested in helping organize? Recent workshop feedback included interest in tutorials and short training sessions, working group and interest group side meetings, BOFs, hackathons, tool demos, and operator round-tables. To make this useful, we need more than topic suggestions: we are especially looking for people who are willing to host a session, help organize one, or point us toward someone who has already expressed interest in leading a specific project, topic, or discussion. This additional day will not require a separate registration fee for OARC 47 attendees. We have conference rooms available from 08:30–16:30 on the 11 November. Each room can accommodate up to 15 participants and includes basic boardroom AV. The day is currently planned around the following schedule: * 08:30–10:00 session block * 10:00–10:30 morning coffee break * 10:30–12:00 session block * 12:00–13:00 lunch * 13:00–14:30 session block * 14:30–15:00 afternoon coffee break * 15:00–16:30 session block Sessions may use one or more blocks depending on the format, organizer availability, and room scheduling. Possible formats include: * hands-on tutorials * OARC tools training or demos * software demos * BOFs * hackathons * focused working group or interest group meetings (for instance standards or BCP discussions) * operator round-tables "help me brainstorm this problem" sessions If you are willing to host something, help organize something, or connect us with someone who may be a good lead for a specific session, please complete the following form by *24 August 2026 23:59 UTC*. Form Link <https://zfrmz.com/arOnEOkvgGa9UoqvwOGn> The form also includes a small section for attendee interest, but our immediate priority is identifying sessions with a potential host, organizer, or named point of contact. Submitting a proposal does not guarantee a confirmed room or time slot. OARC staff will review responses and follow up to confirm session details, timing, room fit, and any support needed. We hope this additional day can create space for practical work, smaller-group discussions, and hands-on knowledge sharing that can be difficult to fit into the regular workshop agenda. Best, Willem Toorop for the DNS-OARC

RTBH Support Across the Industry
by James Bensley 22 Jul '26

22 Jul '26

Dear Community, We see that RTBH is not as effective as it could be, for various reason, just a few include: * Not all networks support RTBH. * Networks that do support RTBH implement it differently to each other. * There is no one place where one can easily find the info for how to use RTBH with a given network. * Operators have different ideas about how / when / where / why someone should / shouldn't use RTBH. To this end, we have created the first of two surveys. This first one is quantitative and captures how networks have implemented RTBH and provides (1) a public repository which anyone can use to look-up the RTBH details for their peers/upstreams, and (2) an insight into the (mis-)alignment of RTBH implementations across the industry. Please take the time to fill out the short survey for your own network (even if you don’t support RTBH!), and if you can, please fill it out for other networks where you know how they have implemented RTBH (e.g., peers you use RTBH with): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScg2Bvr_14onOtZRdoK2SNd0kCHFtqsdw-… (^ No login required) The data ends up in this public repository (you can of course make a pull request directly if you want): https://remotely-triggered-black-hole.github.io/rtbh/ The second survey we are working on will be qualitative, to gather information from the industry community on why you do / don't support RTBH, when do you use it, how do you think the routing should be secured, etc. The long term goal is to use the data from both surveys as input in to a community effort to improve RTBH alignment across the industry and improve it’s effectiveness for all (e.g. maybe we produce a new BCOP for implementing RTBH, or usage guidelines for blackholing, or maybe a new RFC is required to secure the filtering; regardless, the first step is to gather data about the status quo and review that data to get a baseline of where we are at today). Any questions, please let me know, and thank you for your time and help, it is appreciated. With kind regards, James

Free BGP/RPKI routing health check for your ASN — feedback welcome
by N&R consulting 16 Jul '26

16 Jul '26

Hi all, French network engineer here (MPLS backbone operations). I built a small free tool that gives any ASN a routing health check in about 30 seconds, in the browser, no signup: https://sentinelle-routage.fr/en/ What it checks (data from RIPEstat, via a caching proxy): - RIS visibility of your announced prefixes - RPKI/ROA coverage and invalid originations - BGP neighbors overview - an overall grade, with a warning when low visibility may be legitimate (anycast, regional networks) It started on the FRnOG list three weeks ago, where the feedback (including a few sharp reviews) led to fixes: edge caching against RIPEstat rate-limits, false-positive warnings, and an English version. About 200 distinct ASNs have been checked so far. Known limitations, to be upfront: the RPKI check runs on a prefix sample, and there is no IRR consistency check yet (needs a backend, planned). I'm now building the continuous monitoring version (hijack/leak/ROA alerts by email/Telegram + a monthly routing compliance report aimed at NIS2/MANRS) and looking for a handful of founding networks to shape it in beta. If that's interesting, there's a form on the site, or just reply here. Feedback on the scoring logic is very welcome, especially edge cases where the grade feels wrong. Thanks, Abdelaziz EL-BORGI
