RIPE62 Call for presentations
by Ian Meikle 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Dear WG colleagues, RIPE62 will be held in Amsterdam 2-6 May 2011 ( http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-meetings/ripe-62). The MAT WG session will be at 16:00 on Thursday 5 May. 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 Meikle Co-chair MAT Working Group

Comments on RIPEstat
by Richard L. Barnes 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

Hey all, This is the standard post-demo thread for comments on RIPEstat. Here are mine to kick things off: -- As I said on the call, it's not really clear right now what the purpose is of the "Query" link. I guess it could help me understand, but it would be extra useful to be able to tweak and re-query. Maybe this could show a text box with a "Re-query" button? -- It seems like visibility graph could be a good way to use ATLAS data? Of course, the ATLAS probes would have to start pinging a little more broadly. -- I like the path length graph a lot. It's kind of useful to have the graph fill in when you mouse over, but it might be nicer if you could show the data value when you mouse over a point, and if the fill could be translucent so that you could still see the other lines. Thanks, --Richard

Read on RIPE Labs: Network Complexity and How to Deal with it
by Mirjam Kuehne 01 Mar '11

[apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, Prompted by a panel discussion at the RIPE 61 Meeting, this article by Michael Behringer describes the most significant implications of network complexity and suggests ways to deal with it: http://labs.ripe.net/Members/mbehring/network-complexity-and-how-to-deal-wi… This is a topic that requires more work and a lot of input from network operators.
