At RIPE 90, Maria Farrell called on us to rethink how openness, transparency & bold action can help rewild the Internet. 🎙️ Dive deeper in the latest RIPE Labs podcast:

GuardXP aims to develop a privacy-enhancing tool to combat web tracking and data exploitation. Unlike traditional solutions, GuardXP uses code analysis to detect and block tracking scripts without compromising website functionality:

You installed a smart plug. It works — but what data is it sending, and where? Is your privacy protected? Is it legal? A RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund initiative is tackling these IoT uncertainties and building tools for more transparency:

Taking down malicious websites means understanding which geographical regions or IP ranges can access them. RIPE Atlas can help collect the technical evidence needed:

As the 20th Internet Governance Forum gets under way in Lillestrøm, Norway, the @ripencc team keeps track of the topics under discussion, with this year's theme being "Building Digital Governance Together". Read more in our live blog:

🎙️ What is the Internet, really? In the latest RIPE Labs podcast, Hisham Ibrahim dives into the infrastructure, governance, and global cooperation that keep the Internet stable and resilient. With IGF just 2 weeks away, it’s time to rethink the Internet:

Did IPv4 transfers become a lifeline after exhaustion? Our new report looks at scarcity, pricing, usage—and where the Internet is heading next. 🔗

As latency becomes critical for tech like AR, IoT & automation, can we predict cloud performance?.Using #RIPEAtlas, researchers explored if location & provider impact latency:

SEE 13 in Sofia, Bulgaria brought together network operators, academics, and Internet community leaders from across South East Europe:

Effective digital governance begins with understanding the layered systems that make it possible. Technical coordination keeps the Internet running, Internet governance shapes how we use it, and digital governance steers how technology transforms society:

With just one week to go until RIPE 90 kicks off in Lisbon, here are some highlights and topics you can expect to be discussed at the meeting:

The ICP-2 update is an opportunity to reinforce the foundational principles that support the stability and accountability of the global Internet number registry system, and we encourage all interested parties to participate:

In the latest for RIPE Labs, our Chief Community Officer, Hisham Ibrahim, breaks down the difference between technical coordination, Internet governance, and digital governance — three layers that must not be confused. Do you agree?:

Want to run network measurements? You need a network! For a whole that means building a whole network. In this article, we will go into the infrastructure behind how it was built, and what it can do:

Virtualisation can help optimise resource sharing, providing improved support for #low-latency applications when compared to #bare-metal systems. But achieving ultra-low latency on cost-effective hardware requires strategic planning:

When two submarine #cables broke in the #Baltic Sea, how did the Internet stay resilient? We explore RIPE Atlas insights in the newest episode of the RIPE Labs podcast. Watch the full episode on Youtube or listen on the podcast platform of your choice:

The #RIPEstat team faced the challenge of maintaining two UIs. Through research, they found navigation and findability issues. RIPE NCC’s Antonella De Bellis explains how user feedback led to improving the older UI and retiring the newer one:

Want to run Internet measurements? You’ll need an actual network to do it. In this article, we dive into the infrastructure behind — how it was built, what it runs on, and what it can do. 🔗 Read more:

How much does cloud edge improve latency in Europe? We used RIPE Atlas to measure the impact across 🇩🇪🇫🇮🇵🇱🇧🇬🇬🇷🇨🇿 — and found big gains, especially in countries without local cloud regions. Read the full analysis here:
