Improving data quality in the MANRS Observatory - input needed!
by Andrei Robachevsky Nov. 15, 2021

Nov. 15, 2021

Dear MANRS participants, Following the presentation of data quality in the MANRS Observatory (MANRS readiness scores, attached) at the last Community meeting (October 20), please let me suggest some concrete steps and get your opinion. Background: MANRS readiness scores for individual networks are only accessible to MANRS participants. There have been several requests from network operators to make the scores public, instead of tick marks in the participants table (https://www.manrs.org/isps/participants/) Even if done on opt-in basis this will greatly improve the transparency and credibility of the initiative. To achieve this goal we need to improve quality of data used to calculate some of the scores, and specifically, the routing incidents data for the Filtering readiness score. The data is currently sourced from BGPStream (https://bgpstream.com/) and GRIP (https://dev.hicube.caida.org/feeds/hijacks/events) Unfortunately, limited knowledge of operators’ intent and relationships between the networks does not allow to eliminate false positives. To further improve quality of these data, a feedback feature is implemented now in the Observatory: in a detailed report for an individual network the operator can classify detected suspicious events as incidents, valid routing changes, etc. This feature is described in a blogpost: https://www.manrs.org/2021/07/new-data-source-feedback-loop-enhance-manrs-o…. Unfortunately, since the introduction of this feature back in July, we have not got much of the feedback. Proposed solution: We propose that participants receive periodic (monthly) e-mail digests, containing their MANRS readiness scores for Filtering, Anti-Spoofing, Coordination and Global validation, number of incidents encountered and a link to the detailed report prompting them to validate/classify the detected events. Please share your thoughts and additional requirements or features you’d like to see in such service. We plan to implement this feature in January-February 2022. In the meantime, please use your own reminders to check your monthly reports and validate the events. Thank you for your support of MANRS and your cooperation, Regards, Andrei MANRS Secretariat

MANRS Community Mailing List

Dear MANRS Participants, You are receiving this mail as you are listed as the official contact of a Network Operator, IXP, CDN/Cloud Provider and/or Vendor that is participating in the MANRS initiative, and have opted into the MANRS Community mailing list. We are moving the MANRS lists under the ‘manrs.org’ domain, so the previous ‘manrs-members(a)isoc.xn--org-to0a list has now been transitioned to ‘manrs-community(a)elists.manrs.xn--org-to0a. This list should be used for all general MANRS-related discussion. Please note there is also a new ‘manrs-participants(a)elists.manrs.xn--org-to0a list to which all official contacts of MANRS Participants are subscribed. This will only be used for MANRS Steering Committee elections and where the MANRS Participants are being asked to vote on particular decisions. It should *not* be used for discussion. I’d also like to take this opportunity to ask all MANRS Participants to check that their MANRS contact information is valid as we had a few bounces when we ran the MANRS Steering Committee election recently. If you would like to subscribe additional colleagues to this list, they should send a subscription request to ‘manrs-community-join(a)elists.manrs <mailto:manrs-community-join@elists.manrs>.org’. Thank you for continuing to support the MANRS initiative. Regards, Kevin Meynell MANRS Co-Lead
