About MANRS

MANRS is a global initiative supported by the Internet Society that brings network operators together to work on fixing the global routing system's most common security issues. As Akaere Internet Exchange Point, we are committed to implementing all MANRS IXP Actions:

Our MANRS Implementation

We implement Action 1 by using RPKI and ROA validation to ensure that only legitimate and authorized routes are accepted and propagated. This helps prevent route hijacking and improves the overall security and reliability of our network. Our filters are updated every 24 hours to maintain up-to-date validation.

We actively support our members in maintaining accurate routing information in IRR and RPKI repositories, helping to ensure a secure and reliable routing environment.

We are committed to helping our members adopt MANRS ISP Actions by providing comprehensive support and resources.

We publicly recognize and highlight members who participate in MANRS on our member list and website, encouraging others to follow best practices.

We use firewalls and strict filtering policies to ensure the security and integrity of our peering platform, protecting all members from unwanted or harmful traffic.

We provide mailing lists and a member directory to ensure effective communication and coordination among all network operators connected to our IXP.

We offer a standard looking glass tool for our members, enabling them to monitor and debug network routes easily.
