The IRR Landscape: Data Quality - the Good, the Bad, and the Outdated

In the second of our IRR landscape series, we focus squarely on data quality: how accurate, current, and usable IRR routing data really is. Using freshness, DFZ alignment and RPKI conflicts, we spotlight where third-party IRRs drift and why cleanup matters.

¿Creía usted que el colón a 8 pesos colombianos era una devaluación espantosa? Pues el real iraní está mucho, mucho peor, al corte son unos 2200 reales por colón. O un millón de reales por dólar. #IRR

The IRR Landscape: Where Do ASes Keep Their Routes?

We map where networks actually publish routing data - across RIR-run and third-party IRRs - and how that data is used in practice. Connecting our findings with RPKI growth and exploring regional patterns, we examine legacy space and operational risks to suggest clear clean-up priorities.

#statstab #430 Modelling Count Data in Psychological Research: An Applied Tutorial

Thoughts: A fairly comprehensive frequentist tutorial. Covers some edge cases, but doesn't explain them well.
