- [Connectivity Insight Initiative](https://www.benocs.com/blog/connectivity-insight-initiative/) - Inter.link and BENOCS are joining forces to publish free, practical insights about internet events, traffic patterns, and routing behaviour. The goal: give the network community the intelligence it needs to make smarter networking decisions.
- [Peering Days 2026](https://www.benocs.com/events/peering-days-2026/) - From 23-25 March, Sales & Strategy Manager Hari Jayaraman, Interconnection Product Specialist Péter György and BENOCS Co-Founder and CTO Ingmar Poese are excited to get into discussions about peering and network visibility within the European peering community.
- [Unlocking full network visibility](https://www.benocs.com/case-studies/unlocking-full-network-visibility/) - Until deploying BENOCS in their network, Mobicom was only seeing half their traffic. When BENOCS Analytics became fully operational and cache visibility was enabled, Mongolia's top mobile provider gained transformative insights into their network.
- [Optimizing Eurasian network resilience](https://www.benocs.com/case-studies/retn/) - In 2024, submarine cable outages became a major problem for connectivity providers. Several key cables in the Red Sea, including Seacom/TGN, AAE-1, and EIG, were damaged on February 24 and remained offline until August 7, 2024. RETN has capacity in both AAE-1 and SMW-5 cable systems and now had to quickly reroute large amounts of traffic.
- [APRICOT 2026](https://www.benocs.com/events/apricot-2026/) - For the third year in a row, we are sponsoring APRICOT and will be on site from 9-11 February.

- [Why Geo-IP data can mislead you and what to use instead](https://www.benocs.com/blog/why-geo-ip-data-can-mislead-you/) - There are many factors that contribute to inaccuracies in geo-location data. Cellular networks and mobile IPs often have much lower localization accuracy compared to broadband or Wi-Fi. The usage of VPN, proxies, carrier grade NAT and very recently Apple Private Relay further obscure the true location. There is a solution, though, and it lies directly in your own network.
- [Why your flow data might be lying to you (and how to fix it)](https://www.benocs.com/blog/why-your-flow-data-might-be-lying-to-you/) - For people who depend on flow data for analytics, capacity planning, security, and troubleshooting, the uncertainty to full packet delivery can be extremely damaging for the network. Indeed, most of the time, neither the user nor the collector has a way to detect if something's missing.
- [How SURF reduced the indirect traffic of a CDN from 58% to 20%](https://www.benocs.com/case-studies/surf/) - SURF, the national research and education network of The Netherlands, had held a direct interconnect with a well-renowned CDN since 2019. At the end of 2023 the IP Transit providers of SURF changed, causing 48% of the CDN traffic to travel indirectly through one of the new transit providers. With BENOCS, SURF optimized their peering strategy and saved significant costs on their IP-Transit.

- [Overcoming today’s network visibility limits](https://www.benocs.com/blog/overcoming-todays-network-visibility-limits/) - In times of rapidly increasing internet traffic, it is becoming important for internet service providers (ISP) to seek more visibility and control over how and where content is entering its network, and how this can affect the user’s quality of experience. Content delivery is still a blind flight, but how can you equip for the future when you do not know your demand as well as how it affects your network assets? Instead of facing rising infrastructure costs, let us help you get over the “best effort” principle and make content delivery and Quality of Experience (QoE) for your end users great.
- [Network analytics will play a key role for future networks](https://www.benocs.com/blog/network-analytics-will-play-a-key-role-for-future-networks/) - In just a few years’ time, the Internet has changed significantly. Starting as a hierarchical Tier-1, Tier-2 and Tier-3 topology, it is evolving more and more towards a mashup of directly interconnected networks, thus increasing its complexity both physically and logically. Driven by higher quality demands and lower transit network cost, content providers have been working on increasing the content to user speed by shortening the path, which positions the content as close to the consumer as possible.
- [Episode 1: Vision Gaps: How to see through the internet forest](https://www.benocs.com/blog/episode-1-vision-gaps-how-to-see-through-the-internet-forest/) - Imagine that you are on a road trip almost exactly half way to your destination. Having just learned your car is about to run out of gas and with only a few minutes left until you are stranded in the middle of nowhere, you come to a fork in the road with three possible paths. Each path has a sign for a gas station, however, the distance and potential road obstacles are unclear due to the thick forest ahead. You have to decide which road will get you to a gas station the fastest using little to no equipment. This is similar to what is currently happening across the internet as content is being delivered to the user.
- [Ultimate Un-Carrier: Raising All Visors!](https://www.benocs.com/blog/ultimate-un-carrier-raising-all-visors/) - Since its beginning, the Internet as a system of systems has enjoyed unparalleled success as a powerful means of telecommunication. It is blazing fast, its infrastructure reaches even the most remote places on earth, and its design principles have shown to be quite robust. However, the opportunities that lie ahead of us will make greater demands on the Internet than being able to transfer emails or pictures.
- [Episode 2: Vision Gaps Deep Dive - DNS Indirection](https://www.benocs.com/blog/episode-2-vision-gaps-deep-dive-dns-indirection/) - After a long and stressful day of driving (almost stranded in the middle of nowhere without gas), you finally arrive to your destination tired and hungry. You decide to call for pizza and order the largest one available. After placing the order, the person asks, as expected, your location. You provide them with the address of your hotel. Here, the Quality of Experience (QoE) comes from the pizza hotline being well equipped with the information of your exact location. So how do CDNs find out where they need to deliver their pizzas - ah - content?
- [Episode 3: Vision Gaps - One step closer with ECS](https://www.benocs.com/blog/episode-3-vision-gaps-one-step-closer-with-ecs/) - In the previous episodes, we took you on an “internet road trip” to help explicate some of the issues concerning content delivery across the network. However, the network does not work with such efficiency and simplicity as we have previously alluded. In fact, our previous metaphors are still missing some important features that are used in this process.
- [Episode 4: Vision Gaps - How BENOCS tackles the delivery of different types of content](https://www.benocs.com/blog/episode-4-vision-gaps-how-benocs-tackles-the-delivery-of-different-types-of-content/) - In the previous episodes, we explored the different approaches currently implemented into the network in order to keep up with the increasing customer demands and the delivery of content across the internet. Although they are currently capable of sustaining the higher demands and expectations, their systems are not efficient and require frequent and costly infrastructure updates to manage future congestion. At BENOCS, we introduce a new way of managing internet traffic by collecting and sharing information that is already available on the network.
- [Episode 5: Vision Gaps: How to overcome them by evolving towards ISP-CDN interplay](https://www.benocs.com/blog/episode-5-vision-gaps-how-to-overcome-them-by-evolving-towards-isp-cdn-interplay/) - In the previous episodes, we mentioned that the internet demand is continuously growing, and the network infrastructure is no longer able to efficiently support the heavy traffic without costly upgrades and extensions. So far, we discussed the tools currently being used to support content delivery, why we think they are no longer efficient, and the solutions we can provide to help the network operate better. However, what we have not yet answered is why. Why has the network evolved this way if it is inefficient? Let's take a look.
- [Why geolocation is important for enforcing the General Data Protection Regulation and other privacy policies](https://www.benocs.com/blog/why-geolocation-is-important-for-enforcing-the-general-data-protection-regulation-and-other-privacy-policies/) - If you are living in Europe or doing business with European companies, you are probably already familiar with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which has been in effect since May 2018. However, what you may not know is how this law is actually administered. After all, a law is only as good as its ability to be enforced. Given that internet content is shared globally, how can anyone ensure those within the European Union (EU) borders are actually protected by this law, especially when content needs to travel across borders?
- [What are self-operated Meta CDNs, and should ISPs be concerned?](https://www.benocs.com/blog/what-are-self-operated-meta-cdns-and-should-isps-be-concerned/) - Before 2014, Apple relied on external CDNs, such as Akamai and Level 3, to deliver everything from music/video streaming to iOS updates. Then Apple released their CDN as an effort to take control over the quality of their content delivery as well as creating the final puzzle piece that gives them control over the entire customer experience (hardware, online platforms, ect.). Interestingly enough, though, Apple was in no hurry to convert all of their traffic to their own CDN and would still need some time before they completely stopped offloading traffic onto third-party CDNs.
- [DDoS attacks are too easy to launch: How effective are booter take downs?](https://www.benocs.com/blog/ddos-attacks-are-too-easy-to-launch-how-effective-are-booter-take-downs/) - The widely known DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks have been a major threat to Internet security and availability for over two decades. Their goal: to interrupt services by consuming critical resources: computation power or bandwidth, with a motivation of anything from political, financial, cyber warfare, deflecting from other attacks to hackers just testing their limits. Since they were first observed, these attacks have grown in both size and sophistication. Are current protective measures enough?
- [How the BENOCS Flow Director went from research to product](https://www.benocs.com/blog/how-the-benocs-flow-director-went-from-research-to-product/) - Back in 2010, before BENOCS, our founder along with a few other researchers presented the new challenges facing ISPs: CDNs/hyper-giants and their poorly mapped traffic. In that proposal, they opened the research community to a new idea: the prospect of creating a system that would be implemented in the ISP network, which would use the network’s data to facilitate better mapping from the CDN/hypergiants’ side. Today, this has become a reality.
- [It is important for analytics to be backed by powerful data](https://www.benocs.com/blog/it-is-important-for-analytics-to-be-backed-by-powerful-data/) - Today, network analytic tools are typically used for four main purposes: DDoS protection, peering & transit optimization, network planning and network debugging. However, as the network continues to grow and change, it is important that you not only choose analytics tools that can support these tasks now, but to also invest in those that are adaptable for whatever new challenges emerge on the network in the future. Here are a few areas of data-driven network management that we believe will one day be relevant that BENOCS could provide.

- [BENOCS paired with your current network analytics for a high performing network](https://www.benocs.com/blog/benocs-paired-with-your-current-network-analytics-for-a-high-performing-network/) - When it comes to choosing the analytics tool that is right for your networks, you might be enticed by companies that claim to be a “jack-of-all-trades”. This may sound like the best deal on multiple levels e.g. installation, hardware, fees, etc., but different types of networks and different functions to run a network require different types of network analytics. Would you build a house with a Swiss Army Knife or with a tool box filled with high quality tools?
- [Who filled my pipe? Flows on Links can help you figure that out](https://www.benocs.com/blog/who-filled-my-pipe-flows-on-links-can-help-you-figure-that-out/) - Flow analytics tools are great for seeing how traffic flows enters and leaves your network in order to determine its behavior. However, when it comes to answering questions such as “who filled my pipe (aka who is consuming valuable backbone capacity)?”, or “do I need to raise transit prices?”, you often find yourself limited by the information these tools can provide.

- [Internal Border Gateway Protocol (iBGP)](https://www.benocs.com/glossary/internal-border-gateway-protocol-ibgp/) - Interior Border Gateway Protocol (iBGP) is an interior gateway protocol used for exchanging routing information between routers within the same autonomous system (AS) in a large network. iBGP is used to propagate routing information learned from external autonomous systems and other iBGP routers to all the routers within the AS.
- [Content Delivery Network (CDN)](https://www.benocs.com/glossary/cdn/) - CDNs are networks of servers and caches used to bring content closer to the end-users in the internet, by that reducing latency, jitter and QOE-volatility and offloading traffic from network backbones. CDNs which predominantly serve an internal aplication are referred to as private CDNs (e.g. Netflix 2906, Google 15169, Facebook 32934), while CDNs serving mainly
- [Autonomous System (AS)](https://www.benocs.com/glossary/as/) - An Autonomous System (AS) is a collection of connected Internet Protocol routing prefixes under the control of one or more network operators on behalf of a single administrative entity or domain that presents a common and clearly defined routing policy to the Internet.
- [Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP)](https://www.benocs.com/glossary/igp/) - An Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) is a dynamic route update protocol used between routers that run on TCP/IP hosts within a single autonomous system. The routers use this protocol to exchange information about IP routes. Some of the more common interior gateway protocols are: Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Intermediate System
- [IP Transit](https://www.benocs.com/glossary/ip-transit/) - IP Transit is a service where an Internet Service Provider (ISP) allows traffic to cross its network to reach a destination. Without it, an ISP would need to connect directly with all autonomous systems to have access to all internet routes.
- [Quality of Service (QoS)](https://www.benocs.com/glossary/qos/) - Quality of Service: The use of mechanisms or technologies that work on a network to control traffic and ensure the performance of critical applications with limited network capacity. This enables organizations to adjust their overall network traffic by prioritizing specific high-performance applications.
- [Broadband Network Gateway (BNG)](https://www.benocs.com/glossary/bng/) - BNG (Broadband Network Gateway) is a device for terminating subscriber traffic. It is responsible for routing within the service network, meaning that the subscriber can receive various services (Internet, telephony, IPTV) via a single connection.
- [Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)](https://www.benocs.com/glossary/bgp/) - Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) refers to a gateway protocol that enables the internet to exchange routing information between autonomous systems (AS). As networks interact with each other, they need a way to communicate. This is accomplished through peering.
- [Edge](https://www.benocs.com/glossary/edge/) - The network edge refers to the area where a device or local network interfaces with the internet. The edge is close to the devices it is communicating with and is the entry point to the network. The network edge is a crucial security boundary that network administrators must provide solutions for.
- [Anomaly](https://www.benocs.com/glossary/anomaly/) - An anomaly is something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected. Network behavior anomaly detection is defined as the process of monitoring enterprise networks to detect abnormal behavior. Once an anomaly is spotted, network behavior anomaly detection either initiates an automated response or notifies security teams.
- [Sankey](https://www.benocs.com/glossary/sankey/) - A sankey diagram is a visualization used to depict a flow from one set of values to another. The things being connected are called nodes and the connections are called links.
- [Upstream](https://www.benocs.com/glossary/upstream/) - Upstream is when data flows from the user to the network.
- [Transit](https://www.benocs.com/glossary/transit/) - Internet transit is the service of allowing network traffic to cross or "transit" a computer network, usually used to connect a smaller Internet service provider (ISP) to the larger internet.
- [Backbone](https://www.benocs.com/glossary/backbone/) - A backbone or core network is a part of a computer network which interconnects networks, providing a path for the exchange of information between different LANs or subnetworks. A backbone can tie together diverse networks in the same building, in different buildings in a campus environment, or over wide areas.
- [Peering](https://www.benocs.com/glossary/peering/) - Peering is a process by which two internet networks connect and exchange traffic. It allows them to directly hand off traffic between each other's customers without having to pay a third party to carry that traffic across the internet for them.
