The Internet2 Routing Integrity Assessment service gathers information on an organization’s deployment of 35 capabilities and practices that support routing integrity. These controls range from enforcing multi-factor authentication for configuring network devices to keeping network “whois” records up to date.

The assessment uses a questionnaire that was developed by Internet2 and tailored to the needs of the research and education community. The questionnaire is completed by an organization initially to establish a baseline for its routing integrity and then annually to track progress over time.

The completed questionnaire serves two purposes:

1. provides the participating organization with a measure of its current routing integrity control status and serves as a guide for future deployment of controls, and
2. assists Internet2 in identifying opportunities for further outreach and education to help the broader community adopt routing integrity best practices and capabilities.
