Sadly FNC-IX has shut down, and so sessions and infrastructure for that IX have been removed. Small stuff Improved the handling of AS Number inputs on Firefox Detect PPOE/MAC-Telnet/NETBIOS/PIMv6/VRRP/DHCPv6/OSPFv3/IS-IS/ES-IS on IX LANs IX peer latency is now measured over 5 different pings to better deal with control plane latency Individual NTP Pool Name servers are no longer considered internet critical anymore, as there are many of them Improved Performance on RPKI based operations Fixed bug where invalid RPKI routes would not always display the ROAs responsible for the invalid result Fixed issue where the packets sent to detect anycast were not always well formed to ICMP standards Improved performance of the site when under large load Fix various AS-SET parsing issues when presented with mixed casing Actively track the whois for ASs visible in the table, but who don’t originate prefixes
