Your AI Strategy Has a Blind Spot: The Network
May 12, 2026
Enterprises are pouring billions into GPUs and AI compute, but most are overlooking the infrastructure that connects it all. Justin Ryburn, field CTO at Kentik, makes the case that the network is the most underestimated variable in whether AI initiatives succeed or fail.

Setting the Bar for Agentic NetOps
by Steve Stover
April 23, 2026
AI has quickly become part of the language of network observability. Many vendors across the observability landscape can describe, summarize, correlate, or explain some data or situation, leveraging basic LLM capabilities. At a distance, many of these offerings sound similar. They promise faster insight, efficient operations, and a more intelligent path through rising complexity. But the industry has reached a point where surface-level similarity is creating noise, not value. As agentic systems become more common, the industry needs a better definition of a quality solution to cut through the noise.

Iran’s Internet Blackout: Peering Into the World’s Worst Internet Shutdown
by Doug Madory
April 17, 2026
Internet analyst Doug Madory examines Iran’s ongoing internet blackout, now one of the largest government-directed communication shutdowns in history, and shows how limited connectivity is being selectively restored for a privileged few.

Ephemeral Leaks and Automated BGP Route Leak Detection
by Doug Madory
April 15, 2026
Many BGP route leaks reported by automated detection systems are actually brief, low-impact artifacts of normal BGP convergence. Doug Madory examines examples from Cloudflare Radar, Routeviews, and Jared Mauch’s long-running leak detector to show how these “ephemeral leaks” arise, why they usually don’t disrupt traffic, and why they still matter for routing security.

What’s New at Kentik: Platform Updates for April 2026
April 08, 2026
Over the past few months, we’ve been making the Kentik platform easier to use and more actionable, with AI increasingly at the center of how teams interact with it. AI Advisor sits near the middle of a lot of that progress, but this is not only an AI story. It’s also about Kentik becoming a more complete platform, bringing flow and NMS together in more useful ways, helping teams reduce network costs with sharper visibility, and making it easier to find the right workflows and get from question to answer faster.

Internet and Airstrikes: Tracking Iran's Extended Communication Blackout
by Doug Madory
March 18, 2026
In this post, we use Kentik’s traffic statistics to dig into the ongoing internet shutdown in Iran, which began within hours of American and Israeli airstrikes on February 28. This is the second shutdown of the year for Iran and its worst in history. Despite the shutdown, a small amount of whitelisted traffic continues to flow in and out of the country. Using our unique traffic data, we visualize changes within this residual traffic in recent days as the government cracks down on Iranians sharing access to these precious holes in the digital blindfold.

Why the New Normal in Cyberattacks Demands Network Intelligence
by Steve Stover
March 13, 2026
As cyberattacks evolve into “machine-speed” disruption campaigns that span cloud, identity, and network planes, traditional monitoring is no longer enough to protect modern enterprise infrastructure. Shifting to a network intelligence model, powered by real-time telemetry and AI-driven reasoning, enables security teams to detect weak signals and automate defenses before an incident becomes systemic.
