High level view
• Myanmar seems to have good rate of IPv6 adoption
J
• And has higher than average ROA coverage J…
• But, not so good with protecting your end users
from route hijacks… L

IPv6 adoption ~ Asia
~36% of users in
Asia have IPv6
Internet

• Need Training and/or Technical Assistance?
– Happy to help J

RPKI Adoption
1. Creating ROAs ~ signing your route origins
• Prevents others hijacking your routes…
2. Validating inbound routes against ROAs
– And dropping Invalids (~ Route Origin Validation)
• Ensures end-users users are NOT (re)directed to Invalid/illegitimate
destinations

ROA Coverage ~ Asia
~42% of IPv4 routes

~22% of IPv6 routes

ROA Coverage ~ MM
https://stat.ripe.net/widget/rpki-by-country#w.resource=MM
~77% of IPv4 address space
in MM have covering ROAs
~34% of IPv6 address space
in MM have covering ROAs

ROV (dropping Invalids)~ Asia vs MM
https://stats.labs.apnic.net
ONLY ~25% of users in MM are protected!
- Redirection due to hijacks

RPKI Adoption ~ MM
• At minimum, we need to ensure every network in
MM have signed your route origins
– Aim for 100% ROA coverage…
• And, start validating inbound routes against ROAs,
and dropping Invalids…
– At minimum ~ Mobile Operators and large ISPs…
• Need Training and/or Technical Assistance?
– Happy to help J
