2nd Workshop on Internet Measurements Research in Africa
by Amreesh Phokeer 05 Sep '18

05 Sep '18

{apologies for cross-posting} {please circulate} *2nd IMRA WORKSHOPInternet Measurements Research in Africaco-located to AFRICOMM 2018, 29-30 Nov, Dakar, Senegal* *Call for Papers/Presentations* Internet measurements provide useful insights into the accessibility of the Internet (e.g. coverage of WiFi and cellular networks), performance (e.g. Internet throughput and latency) and Internet usage. Internet development campaigners, national regulators, and policy makers in the developing regions are recognising the crucial role that Internet measurement data can play in facilitating evidence-based policy-making and regulation. Given that the Internet ecosystem comprises a diversity of stakeholders and service providers it is difficult for any other single entity to access all of Internet topology data without the cooperation of the Internet community. For this reason, appropriate acquisition of Internet data requires a variety of cooperative research methods, including wide distribution of Internet probes for technical measurements, located in diverse locations and networks, as well as region-specific techniques and demand-side surveys on Internet access and use. The aim of the workshop is to facilitate discussions around mechanisms and challenges of measuring Africa’s Internet; to evaluate the breadth of Internet measurements research and to formulate strategic directions for such research in Africa; and to initiate and accelerate collaboration among Africa’s Internet measurements researchers. The workshop is calling for high-quality papers that are focused on Internet measurements research in Africa. Papers are invited on topics related to tools, methods and analysis of: End-to-end Internet performance metrics Internet topology characteristics, including peering and routing Application-level performance, including DNS, Web, CDNs, Cloud Computing Physical layer performance measurements, including for TVWS, WiFi, and 3G/4G Mobile and Cellular technologies Detection of middleboxes, censorship, and content filtering Data analytics for network monitoring, traffic analysis and network Network topology and performance visualization Internet access, use, and Quality of Experience (QoE) surveys *Committee* *General Workshop Chair*Amreesh Phokeer <amreesh(a)afrinic.net> – AFRINIC *Technical Programme Committee*Ahmed Elmokashfi <ahmed(a)simula.no> (TPC Co-chair) – Simula Research Laboratory Josiah Chavula <jchavula(a)cs.uct.ac.za> (TPC Co-chair) – University of Cape Town Amreesh Phokeer – AFRINIC Gareth Tyson – Queen Mary University of London Alemnew Asrese – Aalto University Ermias Walelgne – Aalto University Assane Gueye – UADB-Senegal Roderick Fanou – CAIDA/UC San Diego *Publication* Accepted and registered papers will be included in the AFRICOMM conference proceedings. *Submission Instructions* See the instructions for paper submission here: <http://africommconference.org/initial-submission/> Workshop papers will be selected through a peer-review process.

comment on Thu presentation on Measuring Routing Insecurity
by Sandra Murphy 18 May '18

18 May '18

I am curious about Andrei’s presentation ("Measuring Routing Insecurity”): How is an incident known? What do you use as the start of an incident, especially if you are going to try to measure mediation time? Many hijacks mentioned on the nanog list bring responses from operators who had their own incidents to report that would otherwise have not been reported. So clearly not all are reported. Incidents mentioned on the nanog list sometimes lead to discovery of related hijacks by the same ISP. Many hijacks mentioned on the nanog list are discovered to have been going on for quite some time, like days. ISPs that have been propagating a hijack for days may not have been alerted that a hijack has occurred. Sometimes the message on nanog notes that the ISP has been contacted but has not responded. Are you going to do your own discovery of hijacks? Based on what? Is the start of the hijack the start of the incident? the report on nanog? the contact to the ISP? Randy’s comment about active measurement gets at the same questions. It is much easier to know an incident has occurred and when it started if you are in control of the incident. —Sandy
