RIPE Atlas / UDM as a replacement for TTM
by Gert Doering 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Hi, things have been strangely silent on the topic of "the end of the TTM boxes" after the last RIPE meeting - so let me try to stir this somewhat. I've been told that UDMs in Atlas "can do what I need" (use RIPE measurements to prove to our customers that our Internet reachability is good). It might, but I find it surprising painful, as I can only request pings from "10 probes at a time" in the UDM - and for reasonable accuracy, we'd need something of at least the size of TTM (100+ probes), or *better*, as we know that individual Atlas probes are not expected to have the same network stability as a TTM box ("always up. ALWAYS!") - setting up 30 or more individual UDMs to get 150 clients each to ping our two TTM boxes is... not the way to go. Second, I'm a bit confused how to automatedly download the .json-format UDM results - while I'm logged in, clicking on the link gives me a nice .json download, but when using the same link with wget, I get a login page. I'm not overly willing to download 30 UDM result files manually every day - so there must be some way to use "wget" etc. to get these data files... any hints on that? Example link: https://udm01.atlas.ripe.net/atlas/udm_download.json?attach=1&msm_id=100200… Third, we still need reasonable ping targets in our network, that are sort of "not under our control" (to meet the goal of "the RIPE NCC does these measurements, they are neutral, so we're not faking anything here") - and that are not part of the normal network churn that www.space.net or one of our routers might have. So far we use the TTM boxes for that - but they might die of old age some day... Which brings back the topic of the Atlas Anchor boxes... any news on that?

New on RIPE Labs: Changes to RIPE Atlas Raw Data Structure
by Mirjam Kuehne 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Dear colleagues, With the introduction of a new firmware version for RIPE Atlas probes, the structure of the measurement results will be changing. Anyone making use of the raw results is advised to read about these upcoming changes on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/ripe-atlas-data-structure-changes We also suggest to subscribe to our RSS feed to be notified of future firmware releases. Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Ripe Probes and Android
by Stefan Wahl 16 May '12

16 May '12

Hi, as promised in Ripe64, I want to introduce Ingo Albrecht. He is the person, who is in charge and the owner of the project "Android and Atlas Probes". He sent me a paper called "inital-concept", which I would like to copy to the mailing-list. I hope that we will get a lot of feedback and make progress in defining and funding the project. greetings from Berlin Stefan Wahl Ingo Albrecht: GENERAL CONCEPT The client should implement a proper subset of the features present in the web interface, limiting itself to the most common and most operationally useful features. As such, emphasis should be given to "general" information that has use in network operations, as opposed to "specific" detailed information. Display should concentrate on displaying "current" information as opposed to browsing history, for which a laptop is much better suited. As an example, consider display of per-probe data. The client should display basic probe information and current/recent measurement results, not a whole set of graphs. Also, emphasis should be given to search as opposed to full-list browsing, facilitating ad-hoc use. DEVELOPMENT PROCESS Development would progress in monthly stages, accompanied by public release from the second stage on. The feature set specified in this document should be achievable within 3 to 5 such stages. This concept would be revised during each stage, allowing for integration of feedback. As the developer, I propose that the source code for the project, including history, be published via github or similar. FEATURES Base features: * Display of announcements * Display of "My Probes" list * Display as list * Display map of own probes * Search for probes by AS, IP4/IP6 prefix, country * Result display as list * Result display as map * Notification when a users own probes go down or stay down * Configurable "acceptable downtime" * Configurable "silent times" based on phone timezone * Probe view (reachable from probe lists and maps) * Display standing data * Display most recent measurements Basic browsing features: * View standard measurements (equivalent of "Maps" view) * Fixed destination measurements (reachability and RTT) * Limitable by probe AS and prefix * Limitable by destination * DNS measurements (instance choice and RTT) * Limitable by probe AS and prefix * Limitable by root instance continent * Limitable by specific root instance UDM features: * Display of configured UDMs * Adding/removing UDMs * Display of most recent UDM results * Possibly with history * Maybe with graphs Features not considered: Display of coverage information (not terribly useful ad-hoc).

by Mirjam Kuehne 09 May '12

09 May '12

[apologies for duplicate mails] Dear colleagues, You can now use RIPE Atlas to test your IPv6 reachability. This also works if you do not host a RIPE Atlas probe yourself. However, please note that this is only available to RIPE NCC members. Please find the details on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/test-your-ipv6-reachability-using-ripe-… If you have any comments or questions, please let us know. Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC
