new on RIPE Labs: RIPEstat DNS Widget for World IPv6 Launch
by Mirjam Kuehne 25 May '12

25 May '12

Dear colleagues, RIPEstat has a new DNS widget for World IPv6 Launch. The widget can be included in any website where you'd like viewers to be able to perform IPv6 (and IPv4) DNS lookups or view your site's DNS details. Please find more details on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripestat-dns-widget-for-world-ipv6-laun… 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).

New on RIPE Labs: Test your IPv6 Reachability by Using RIPE Atlas
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

Introducing the Android Atlas Client and myself
by Ingo Albrecht 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hello! Just as Stefan Wahl wrote, I am the guy who initially came forward with the idea of implementing an Android client for the RIPE Atlas. My professional background is as a programmer of various media systems with a lot of experience in mobile applications, high-profile showroom and media installations as well as related topics. Beyond that, being a jack of many trades, I also have experience in network operations and service hosting, both professionally and in various voluntary contexts such as open source projects. Having heard of RIPE Atlas and knowing a lot of people from the network community, I decided to step forward and offer to implement an Android application that allows proper mobile use of the Atlas. Stefan Wahl of ECIX was so kind as to announce my project at RIPE64. I am now hoping to collect further feedback. For further discussion, I have pasted my initial draft concept below. Feel free to comment, propose features and discuss. If you wish, you can also contact me directly about this project. Greetings Ingo ========================================================================= RIPE Atlas Android Client - Concept Proposal (C) 2012 Ingo Albrecht <prom(a)berlin.ccc.de> Revision 2012-04-16 21:00 CEST 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.
