by Ian Meikle 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Dear Working Group Colleagues, RIPE 65 will take place from 24-28 September 2012 at the Hotel Okura in Amsterdam (http://ripe65.ripe.net/) The MAT-WG session is scheduled to run between 16:00 - 17:30 CET on Thursday 27 September, though this may be subject to change as the meeting plan is still in draft. My co-chairs and I invite you to submit presentations or suggestions for content you would like to see in this session. As a reminder, the working group charter states: "The purpose of the working group is to provide a forum in which the RIPE NCC and the community can collaborate in the areas of data, tools and analysis relating to the Internet and its infrastructure, with a loose focus on monitoring, diagnosis, analysis and forecasting. It is not the purpose of the working group to compare the performance of networks for marketing purposes." If you would like to contribute anything to our session at the next RIPE meeting please email mat-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net Best regards, Ian Co-chair MAT Working Group

28 Aug '12

Dear MAT-WG, I am happy to announce DNS & SSL certificate measurements, a new addition to the RIPE Atlas UDMs, making it in total 4 types of customized measurements available to RIPE Atlas hosts & RIPE NCC members. Please find out the details in the RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/dns-user-defined-measurements-in-ripe-a… Please let us know what you think, and enjoy the measurements :) If you have a success-story to share, consider giving a presentation at the RIPE65, or writing RIPE Labs article. I am willing to work on this together with you, so do let me know if you need any help. Regards, Vesna

RIPE Atlas Roadmap: monthly update: August
by Vesna Manojlovic 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

Dear colleagues, While developing RIPE Atlas, we wish to keep community involved and informed. We are maintaining a roadmap of the features we are working on, and with this update we are asking for feedback, so that we can use it as guidance for making further plans. You can find much more details are in the RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-atlas-roadmap-august-2012-update Here I only want to copy the plans for next 4-6 weeks, and three months after that, and to repeat the questions from the article: Plans for the next month: * Users can get more flavors of customized measurements: DNS & SSL - new wizard for two new types of measurements, currently beta-tested * Making it possible to download measurements results without having to be logged in - by deploying & enabling API Keys * Making it easier to follow the rate of deployment of probes over time - by updating the graphs that show the distribution and status of probes * Atlas hosts and sponsors can meet developers during RIPE65, Amsterdam - exchange experiences, give feedback and requirements - so developers can adjust priorities Plans for Q4 2012: * Installing Atlas Anchors as new targets for pre-defined measurements - this will offer greater topological diversity for measurements - Atlas Anchors will also become powerful probes, capable of performing more measurements then small probes * In order to remind you if the probe is not plugged in or if it is down - we will add more automatic email notifications of events * We will create Internet Traffic Maps based on Atlas data - maps will illustrate the health (e.g. reachability) of measured networks Questions: - About the current functionality: what do you want us to improve? - About additions to the next release: what are the most-wanted features for each one of them? - And finally, from the less-specific planned functionalities that we will work on three-six months from now: - what do you find most important? - to which one of them shall we give most priority? Thank you for your feedback, and see you soon in Amsterdam, Vesna

RIR prefix size distribution in RIPEstat
by Vesna Manojlovic 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

Dear colleagues, last week new RIPE Labs article was published: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/rir-prefix-size-distribution-in-ripestat RIPEstat developers have created another visual interpretation of RIR "delegations" data: an interactive widget in which you can query for any address space prefix (0/0, 2000::/3 or 5/8, for example) and receive a prefix size distribution as an output: https://stat.ripe.net/widget/rir-prefix-size-distribution A data call API is also available for the scripting and creating your own favorite filters. We are interested in your feedback: - do you find this useful? - how can we improve it, so that it suits your needs even better?

Recent RIPEstat improvements
by Ann Barcomb 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Hello, We have recently released several improvements to RIPEstat which we would like to inform you of. First, we have improved the amount of information available about each widget. If you click on the 'Info' link, you will see information about data sources, data timeliness, and interpretation of the visualisation. Second, the Object Browser for the RIPE DB is now serving up realtime data! Try out the Object Browser: https://stat.ripe.net/widget/object-browser This change has also been documented in the Object Browser article on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripestat-objects-browser-for-ripe-datab… Third, the Address Space Hierarchy widget can now optionally query the APNIC database. This is the first step toward offering results independent of the data source. Try out the Address Space Hierarchy widget: https://stat.ripe.net/widget/address-space-hierarchy The related RIPE Labs article was also updated: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripestat-address-space-hierarchy-widget Kind Regards, Ann -- Ann Barcomb RIPE NCC Community Builder http://www.ripe.net Measurements Community Building +31 20 535 4444

Short update on TTM service
by Vesna Manojlovic 05 Jul '12

05 Jul '12

Dear colleagues, We received a lot of feedback from the community after we announced our proposal to discontinue TTM at RIPE 64. After reviewing the RIPE community's feedback and reevaluating our own planning, we are pleased to announce that we will continue supporting TTM until sometime in 2013. As presented during the MAT Working Group and RIPE NCC Services Working Group sessions at RIPE 64, we plan to implement RIPE Atlas Anchors and to migrate DNSMON functionality to RIPE Atlas. We will do this in parallel to the current TTM infrastructure in order to give the RIPE community enough time to build confidence in and test the new infrastructure. We will give you more details about transition in early September and look forward to discussing our proposed plans with you at RIPE 65 in Amsterdam. If you are a TTM host you have received a more detailed version of this email, if this is not the case then please contact with me and I would be more than happy to provide further information for you. I wish you relaxed summer holidays. Kind regards, Vesna -- Vesna Manojlovic BECHA(a)ripe.net Senior Community Builder +31205354444 for Measurement Tools RIPE NCC http://ripe.net
