Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS) is an initiative to greatly improve the security and resilience of the Internet’s global routing system. It does this by encouraging those running BGP to implement well-established industry best practices and technological solutions that can address the most common threats.

Throughout the history of the Internet, collaboration among its participants and shared responsibility for its smooth operation have been two of the pillars supporting its tremendous growth and success. This document aims to build on this spirit by defining the actions that should be taken by network operators. By doing so, network operators demonstrate a commitment to improving security, develop a culture of collective responsibility, and build a responsible community.
