The APNIC member gathering in Yangon on November 20 focused on enhancing internet routing security through Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) while discussing the growth of IP resources and upcoming events. The meeting highlighted the urgency of addressing IPv4 exhaustion and provided insights into route management and certification tools. Additionally, APNIC's training programs and outreach initiatives were emphasized to support network operations and security in the region.

9. Resource Public Key Infrastructure
What is RPKI?
•A robust security framework for verifying the association
between resource holders and their Internet resources
•Uses x.509 certificates with RFC3779 extensions
• Collaborative effort by all RIRs to help secure Internet
routing by validating routes
9

10. APNIC’s involvement in RPKI
• Initial phase introduced by RIRs in 2009
• Initiative from APNIC aimed at:
– Improving the security of inter-domain routing
– Augmenting the information published in the whois database
10

11. Motivation
11
• Prevent route hijacking
– Only the rightful custodian can originate the prefix announcement
– ISPs filter prefixes they propagate
• Minimize common routing errors
– Limits human errors
– Prioritize routes with certificates

12. Real-life routing incidents
• July 2015 – Axcelx; hosting provider in Boston leaked Reddit routes,
knocking off websites dependent on Amazon and AWS
• June 2015 - Telecom Malaysia caused large-scale routing issues due
to route leak
• April 2014 - Indosat leaked 32,000 routes
• April 2010 - China Telecom advertisement caused 15% of Internet
traffic to pass through Chinese servers
• February 2008 - Pakistan Telecom announced 208.65.153.0/24
(YouTube prefix)

14. Creating ROAs in MyAPNIC
14
• What you need to have before creating a ROA
– Must be an APNIC Member
– Have access to MyAPNIC with 2 factor authentication
• Takes only 5 minutes to create, and 10 minutes to be
visible to the public

15. TOTP, more convenient 2FA
15
Digital certificates are not needed
Can get full access from ANY device you login with
www.apnic.net/2FA

17. Route management made easier
17
Services improvements for route management
next year
• One page to manage routes and ROAs
• Ability to create ROA together with route object
• Quick visualization of all your routes and ROAs
• View who is using your ASN

18. Success story
• May 2015: APNIC Outreach in Bangladesh
– 13 organizations visited
– Onsite support to create ROA objects

Peering
Internet Peering is a local
routing optimization, a way to
exchange some of your traffic
with neither party incurring
Internet transit fees.

22. VizAS: Visualize your connectivity
AS Numbers with more
downstream connectivity
located towards the
centre.
Lines show their
connectivity to down
streams
22

23. VizAS: Visualize your connectivity
AS Numbers on the edge
have no down streams.
They provide services to
end users.
Red means heavy traffic.
Yellow means low traffic.
