Pulse Internet Measurement Forum at APRICOT 2025: Part 2
Last month, during APRICOT 2025 / APNIC 59 (https://2025.apricot.net/), the Internet Society hosted its first Pulse Internet Measurement Forum (https://pulse.internetsociety.org/blog/pulse-internet-measurement-forum) (PIMF). PIMF brings together people interested in Internet measurement from a wide range of perspectives — from technical details to policy, governance, and social issues. The goal is to create a space for open discussion, uniting both technologists and policy experts.In this second special episode of PING, we continue our break from the usual one-on-one podcast format and present a recap of why the PIMF forum was held, and the last 3 short interviews from the workshop.First we hear a repeat of Amreesh Phokeer's (https://www.internetsociety.org/author/phokeer/) presentation. Amreesh is from the Internet Society and discusses his role in managing the Pulse activity within ISOC. Alongside Robbie Mitchell (https://blog.apnic.net/author/robbie-mitchell/), Amreesh helped organize the forum, aiming to foster collaboration between measurement experts and policy professionals.Next we hear from Beau Gieskens (https://blog.apnic.net/author/beau-gieskens/), a Senior Software Engineer from APNIC Information Products. Beau has been working on the DASH system and discusses his PIMF presentation on a re-design to an event-sourcing model which reduced database query load and improved speed and scaling of the service.We then have Doug Madory (https://blog.apnic.net/author/beau-gieskens/) from Kentik who presented to PIMF on a quirk in how Internet Routing Registries or IRR are being used, which can cause massive costs in BGP filter configuration and is related to some recent route leaks being seen at large in the default free zone of BGP.Finally, we hear from Lia Hestina (https://blog.apnic.net/author/lia-hestina/) from the RIPE NCC Atlas project. Lia is the community Development officer, and focusses on Asia Pacific and Africa for the Atlas project. Lia discusses the Atlas system and how it underpins measurements worldwide, including ones discussed in the PIMF meeting.For more insights from PIMF, be sure to check out the PULSE Forum recording (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlEjEb_o4h0) on the Internet Society YouTube feed
