Dear colleagues,
Following-up from his presentation at RIPE 61 in Rome, Claudio
Squarcella published an article on RIPE Labs:
http://labs.ripe.net/Members/csquarce/caidagram-visualization-tool
It describes Caidragam, a new tool to visualise geographically annotated
Internet measurements, for instance topology, address allocation, DNS
and economical data. You can also find a link to the actual tool and a
live demo at the end of the article.
Kind Regards,

Just wanted to start a thread on this list where people could contribute thoughts about RIPEstat.
To get things started, here are a few things that occurred to me during the call this morning:
-- Time zooming is awesome. I haven't yet looked to see if this zooms the linked raw data as well; if it doesn't it should.
-- YAML might not be everyone's preferred format for data. It might be nice for the "raw data" link to go to a page that displays the data (e.g., as a table) with links at the top: "Download as: YAML, CSV, JSON, XML, ..."
-- The AJAX loading is good, but there's no "busy indicator" that tells me that the request is outstanding, vs. the blocks simply not loading.
-- The idea of country indexes (http://stat.ripe.net/country/dk) seems like it could be handy and not too difficult to implement. It would probably be accurate enough to get the geolocation from the delegation files and call up information for those resources.
-- +1 on the addition of a methodology link. Again, would be useful, especially for first-time or occasional users, and not too hard to implement (just some static text). Stylistically speaking, it's probably a small enough bit of text that it could be done as an AJAX popup/overlay.
Thanks for keeping the community involved in this project,
--Richard

Dear colleagues,
Claudio Squarcella from Roma Tre University presents three analyses
related to the recent events in Egypt, proving interesting behavior in
relation to the observed disconnection. He used tools like BGPlay and
iBGPlay, developed for the visualisation of BGP dynamics.
See his findings on RIPE Labs:

Greetings, all,
The FP7 DEMONS (http://www.fp7-demons.eu) project is organizing an IPFIX Interoperability Event the Thursday and Friday before IETF 80 in Prague, on March 24-25, in cooperation with CESNET (http://www.ces.net). The aim of the event is to test interoperability among developers and vendors of IPFIX Devices, focusing on the core protocol. The results of this event will be used to advance IPFIX down the IETF Standards Track.
The event will take place at the offices of CESNET, Zikova 4, 160 00 Prague 6, Czech Republic.
Details are available at http://fp7-demons.eu/?p=164 ... please feel free to forward this link to anyone who may be interested.
Best regards,

Dear Colleagues,
To allow us to update the software behind RIPE Labs, functionality on
the site will be reduced between 15:00 and 18:00 UTC on Tuesday, 8
February 2011.
During this time, although the site remains available, it will be in
"read only" mode. It will not be possible to comment on articles or join
in discussions.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience.
If you have any questions about this maintenance work, please send an
email to <labs(a)ripe.net>.
Kind Regards,

This view shows paths to six selected nodes inside Egypt,
before and during the disconnection:
https://www.internetperils.com/perilwatch/20110127.php
The timing matches what RIPE saw, and the order matches
what Renesys saw.
This view is not based on BGP routes; it is derived from
regular probes (every 15 minutes) showing hops along the way,
and thus shows detail of paths from several cameras
outside Egypt to the selected destinations.
None of those destinations have reappeared yet.
