The answer is both are needed. RPKI is becoming baseline routing hygiene as more ISPs (including tier-1 providers) filter RPKI invalids to prevent unintentional route leaks. Content/e-commerce providers should follow MANRS CDN/cloud recommendations, while ISPs must consider MANRS for Network Operators. BGPSEC has questionable ROI in mixed environments, but RPKI benefits from network effects — value grows as more participants join. Application security remains separately necessary since infrastructure security cannot stop botnets exploiting misconfigured cloud workloads. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What are the practical benefits of implementing RPKI for my network? RPKI prevents the worst cases of unintentional route leaks and successful hijacks. More and more ISPs, including many tier-1 providers, now filter RPKI invalids. RPKI benefits from a network effect — even limited participation adds value, and every participant benefits more as adoption grows. It is becoming the baseline of global routing hygiene, comparable to basic sanitation practices. _Network engineers evaluating BGP security investments track RPKI adoption trends on daily.dev._ ### Should CDN or cloud providers implement MANRS recommendations? Yes. Content and e-commerce providers running their own infrastructure should read and implement MANRS recommendations for CDN/cloud providers, particularly to guard against a misconfigured router accidentally advertising their IP address space or more-specific prefixes to the global Internet. Widespread MANRS adoption would also reduce source IP address spoofing across the broader internet. _Teams hardening their routing posture find infrastructure security discussions like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Who’s running all those tiny RPKI servers?](https://daily.dev/posts/who-s-running-all-those-tiny-rpki-servers--ota2fdoxt) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [A framework for measuring Internet resilience](https://daily.dev/posts/a-framework-for-measuring-internet-resilience-ej9eg4ku0) · Cloudflare · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Cloudflare Introduces Support for ASPA, an Emerging Internet Routing Security Standard](https://daily.dev/posts/cloudflare-introduces-support-for-aspa-an-emerging-internet-routing-security-standard-9fcps0m7k) · InfoQ · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [ASPA: making Internet routing more secure](https://daily.dev/posts/aspa-making-internet-routing-more-secure-r19ceuyg1) · Cloudflare · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#security](https://daily.dev/tags/security), [#bgp](https://daily.dev/tags/bgp) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/should-i-care-about-rpki-and-internet-routing-security-ipspace-net-blog-agaeqgu2x) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Should I Care About RPKI and Internet Routing Security? « ipSpace.net blog","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/should-i-care-about-rpki-and-internet-routing-security-ipspace-net-blog-agaeqgu2x","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/should-i-care-about-rpki-and-internet-routing-security-ipspace-net-blog-agaeqgu2x"},"datePublished":"2026-08-11T08:55:00.715Z","dateModified":"2026-08-11T09:23:37.370Z","description":"A network engineer asks whether to prioritize RPKI/routing security or application security.
