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
Dear colleagues,
[apologies for duplicate messages]
Please find a new article on RIPE Labs describing the details of RIPE
Atlas Anchors:
https://labs.ripe.net/Members/dfk/ripe-atlas-anchors
Right now, we are looking for a small number of pilot hosts from the
RIPE NCC membership for deployment to begin in October 2012.
If you are interested, please contact me or Daniel Karrenberg
before the RIPE65.
We will be discussing further details at the RIPE meeting.
Regards,
Vesna Manojlovic

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
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
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?
Regards,
Vesna
