Understanding networks' routing behavior has always been important to network
operators, but has become more difficult in recent years. Not only because of
ever-increasing scale, but also because the introduction of RPKI-based routing
security approaches affect routes. Not all routing platforms provide
detailed insights into these effects, emphasizing the need for more transparency
and tools for operators to understand the full picture of their networks.

With Rotonda, we introduce an open-sourc…

The Internet, often perceived as a single entity, is in fact a collection of smaller networks, each speaking the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). Despite this common protocol, individual experiences of what the Internet is can vary significantly depending on the point of observation. These differences present challenges for analysis, which is typically conducted using data provided by Route Collectors (RCs). RCs act as the 'memory' of the Internet, capturing snapshots of the Global Routing Table …

With over 1.5 billion iPhones around the world, Apple's impact on the mobile landscape is unquestionable. One of the key reasons for this widespread adoption is the "Apple ecosystem", with features such as AirDrop, AirPlay, and more. Apple Wireless Direct Link (AWDL) is Apple's proprietary and undocumented IEEE 802.11-based ad hoc protocol that enables seamless data sharing between Apple devices. However, the Apple ecosystem is a double-edged sword, and AWDL can introduce network jitter on Appl…
