IAA’s is undertaking steps to gain Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS) as part of its efforts to run a secure IXP.
MANRS is a global initiative that provides crucial fixes to reduce the most common routing threats. Whilst initially designed for network operators, IXP’s play an active role in protecting the Internet and represent active communities as well as working to ensure a secure Internet infrastructure.
IAA Is working towards IXPP status. To achieve this, it must demonstrate commitment by implementing the IXP Programme Actions.

IAA members will now be able to expand their network connections into over 40 countries following the establishment of interconnect API with PCCW Global.
PCCW Global are the international operating division of HKT, Hong Kong’s premier telecommunications service provider. PCCW has an extensive global network footprint, with points of presence worldwide and interconnections directly with key cloud, IX, IoT and SaaS partners, all of whom are accessible and available via the platform.
Through the new collaboration, customers of either IAA’s peering fabric, IX Australia or PCCW Global’s Console Connect SDI® platform will be able to access all network services on either carrier or fabric through their respective online portals.
“IAA is committed to the development and growth of the industry, both within Australia and internationally,” explains IAA Chair, David Hooton.
“Collaborating with PCCW Global on a project like this is beneficial to our members and the wider Internet community as it removes connection complexity, allowing opportunities to readily expand for global reach. This enables our members to deliver a tremendous expansion of services both into and out of Australia.”
The Console Connect is one of the largest Software Defined Interconnect platforms, spanning over 128 data centres across the globe, with that number continuing to grow. Once connected, IAA members can provision on-demand connectivity between key data centres, partners and all major cloud on-ramp operators, including AWS Direct Connect, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, Oracle Cloud, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud and NAVER Business Platform. They can also directly connect with other key IX operators in Europe and the United States who are already on the platform, including players such as DE-CIX.
IAA members wanting to sign up for Console Connect must create a log in on the Console Connect website https://www.consoleconnect.com and request a connection via the portal.

As we all watch on in shock at the impacts of Australia’s bushfire season on our beautiful country, and see communities devastated by the fires, IAA as an organisation felt compelled to reach out to our own community to see how we could help.
Many of our members have been affected by the fires and with regional communities impacted by outages, IAA have set up a relief pool with the aim of coordinating offers of support with those in need.
Are you or your business in need of equipment or practical assistance? Do you have anything that you could offer to help in this current situation?
IAA’s donation relief coordination is receiving positive response from the industry with many of our members making generous offers of networking equipment and personal time. The initiative was also mentioned in a recent article in the ITNews.
A list of items needed and on offer can be found on the IAA website. Examples include handheld radios, technical and infrastructure support and storage capacity. As soon as it is safe to do so we will do our best to coordinate getting people and gear into the areas of need.
If you would like to get involved please email donations@internet.asn.au or text/WhatsApp on +61412297043 and let us know what you have to donate or what help you need.
This unique role is based remotely, and we are currently taking applications from any major capital city in Australia or New Zealand.
You will be part of a small, dedicated team where your skills will have a real impact within the internet community. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to work on a range of systems and technologies and be involved with exciting new projects.
Some of the key responsibilities will include:
