On September 25–26, BENOCS CTO Ingmar Poese will be at #FCN2025, the Future Computing and Networking Workshop in Hamburg. With years of research and hands-on experience in network measurement and traffic analysis, Ingmar is looking forward to diving deep into the technical side of interconnection and traffic visibility.

Probes are great for spotting issues at the network edge, but how do you know what their alerts actually mean for the rest of your traffic? And how can you link those warnings back to the exact interconnect point? Find out at BalticNOG!

On September 24–25, Peter will be in Vilnius for the very first BalticNOG. We're excited to see this new community form and we can’t wait to be part of the conversations around networks, interconnection, and how analytics can make traffic flows more transparent.

Ever wondered how a probe’s 'alert' footprint really maps to the rest of your network? Ever struggled to connect a quality degradation alert back to the exact interconnect point, and then figure out what else might be affected? You're about to find out!

On September 18, Péter will be representing BENOCS at RONOG and ready to meet the Romanian networking community to exchange thoughts on how traffic visibility and analytics can simplify network operations and improve performance.

From September 15-17, you can catch Péter, Ingmar, Suraj, and Stephan representing BENOCS at EPF 25. They’re looking forward to connecting with the peering community, diving into the latest on interconnection, and sharing ideas on how visibility into traffic flows can make networks run smoother.

On September 11, Hari and Stephan will be at the beach in Scheveningen, for the annual NL-ix Late Summer Drink. Always a great chance to catch up with peers, exchange ideas, and enjoy the unique mix of seaside vibes and serious conversations about networks.

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.

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.

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.
