Internet Measurement Day 2026 - Bucharest will take place on Wednesday, 30 September 2026 in Bucharest, Romania.
Internet Measurement Day is a series of events organised by RIPE NCC and ICANN to promote Internet measurement tools and best practices to local communities across the RIPE NCC service region.
About Internet Measurement Day
Internet Measurement Day brings together network operators, ccTLDs, researchers, regulators and other Internet stakeholders to share experience, tools and practical knowledge on how to measure the Internet.
The event is designed for people who work with Internet infrastructure and want to better understand routing, DNS, resilience, security, performance and the health of the wider Internet ecosystem.
Why this event matters to the domain industry
Although Internet Measurement Day is not a domain-only event, it is highly relevant to domain registries, registrars, DNS operators and infrastructure teams.
Accurate Internet measurement helps the domain industry understand DNS performance, routing quality, network reachability, resilience, security events, infrastructure dependencies and regional connectivity.
For DNForum readers, this event is especially relevant because domain names depend on a reliable and measurable Internet infrastructure. DNS availability, routing stability, RPKI deployment, BGP visibility and network performance all affect how users reach websites, registries, registrars and hosting platforms.
Tools and measurement platforms discussed
ICANN lists several key Internet measurement and data tools connected with the event:
