Overview
MANRS is an important step toward a globally robust and secure routing infrastructure
Action 1: Prevent Propagation of Incorrect Routing Information
The IXP implements filtering of route announcements at the Route Server based on routing information data (IRR and/or RPKI). Based on the outcome of the validation process, the invalid announcements are filtered in accordance with the IXP's published policy. IRR-based filtering is applied on updates from peers, and strict filtering of RPKI invalids in the export phase. As IRR and RPKI information are completely independent, the filtering strategy can be modified.
Action 2: Promote MANRS to the IXP Membership
The IXP provides encouragement or assistance for members to implement MANRS Actions. (There are 4 separate check-boxes for different levels of incentives; one or more must be checked.)
Action 3: Protect the Peering Platform
The IXP has a published policy of traffic not allowed on the peering fabric and performs filtering of such traffic.
Action 4: Facilitate Communication and Coordination
The IXP facilitates communication among members by ensuring that the IXP and every member has at least one valid and active email address (to which replies can be expected within 72 hours) and telephone number that can be used for operational, security, and abuse incidents. Effective communication among members of an IXP is essential in mitigating network incidents such as misconfigurations, outages, or DoS attacks.
Action 5: Provide Monitoring and Debugging Tools
