Seven new RIPE Atlas anchors have joined the community
by Michela Galante 31 Dec '15

31 Dec '15

Dear colleagues, Since the previous announcement, seven new RIPE Atlas anchors have been activated bringing the total number to 164. - nc-nou-as56055, hosted by Micro Logic Systems (MLS) in Nouméa, New Caledonia. - bg-sof-as47872, hosted by Sofia Connect in Sofia, Bulgaria. - bg-sls-as198228, hosted by Silistra Telecom Solutions in Silistra, Bulgaria. - fr-ysd-as201958, hosted by Claranet in Saint-Denis, France. - de-erl-as680, hosted by Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg in Erlangen, Germany. - cr-sjo-as263779, hosted by NIC Costa Rica in San José, Costa Rica and sponsored by LACNIC. - nl-roo-as43350, hosted by NFOrce Entertainment in Roosendaal, Netherlands. The map of all anchor locations is available at: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/map/ You can access the anchoring measurements for all anchors at: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/list/ And here are the logos and links to hosting companies: https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/community/#!tab-anchor-sponsors We are still accepting new applications from organisations interested in hosting a RIPE Atlas anchor. We are particularly interested in deploying anchors in the Middle East, Western Asia, Latin America and Africa, in order to add more geographical diversity to the measurement data. There are more organisations that want to host a RIPE Atlas anchor but don’t have the necessary funding. To learn more about sponsoring an anchor, please contact us at mcb(a)ripe.net To apply for your own RIPE Atlas anchor: https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/become-an-anchor-host/ For any other questions, please contact us at atlas(a)ripe.net We’d like to thank all the anchor hosts and the organisations sponsoring anchors for their support in 2015. Thanks to you it was possible to expand the coverage and reach this amazing goal. Wishing all of you the best for 2016. Michela Galante on behalf of the RIPE Atlas Team RIPE NCC

New on RIPE Labs: Exploring the Idea of RIPE Atlas Virtual Probes
by Mirjam Kuehne 21 Dec '15

21 Dec '15

Dear colleagues, The concept of virtual probes is one that RIPE Atlas users have asked about for quite some time. Although we don't plan to make virtual probes available in 2016, we do plan to investigate this idea and develop some prototypes. Please find more details on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/exploring-the-idea-of-r… Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Ripe RRC setup for ris
by Wolff, Nick 17 Dec '15

17 Dec '15

Hello all, Are there any details anywhere on replicating the RIPE RRC setup for local use. Either the old Quagga style or the new exabgp. Even just articles on setting up quagga MRT logging and storage would be appreciated if any exist.

CAIDA BGP Hackathon 6, 7 Feb 2016 -- Call for Participation
by Alberto Dainotti 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

What: CAIDA BGP Hackathon, Call for Participation (CFP) When: Feb 6-7, 2016 Where: the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) on the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) campus. Who: Parties interested in hacking on live BGP data. Inquiries: bgp-hackathon-info(a)caida.org Important Deadline: Dec 22, 2015 for travel grant requests Apply to attend: http://www.caida.org/workshops/bgp-hackathon/1602/ CAIDA, in cooperation with CSU, USC, UFMG, FORTH, Route Views, RIPE NCC, will host a BGP Hackathon on the 6-7th of February 2016 at UC San Diego (La Jolla, CA, USA). The theme of the hackathon is “live BGP measurements and monitoring”. We will provide participating teams with access to data sources and a toolbox: live streaming of BGP data, the new BGPMon interface, BGP processing tools and APIs such as the opensource BGPStream software framework, the PEERING testbed, RIPE RIS, visualization tools, and data-plane active measurement platforms such as CAIDA Ark and RIPE Atlas. Participating teams will work on "challenges" that extend, integrate and demonstrate the utility of these platforms/data for understanding or solving practical problems (e.g., detecting BGP prefix hijacking, evaluating anycast performance, effectively visualizing phenomena). The hackathon will be held in San Diego the weekend immediately preceding the NANOG conference and the AIMS academic Internet measurement workshop. The hackathon aims to: - bring together these different communities, e.g., to discuss problems operators face that academics may want to research; - advertise tools (e.g., PEERING peering.usc.edu, BGPStream bgpstream.caida.org) to the communities and get people familiar with using them, and encourage further use in the future; - get people working together on interesting/important problems, hopefully spurring further collaboration on these problems; - provide extra incentive for students to attend NANOG. ### FORMAT Each team of 2-4 people will work on a "challenge". The organization committee will propose a set of challenges to bootstrap feedback and refinement based on community input: participants can propose totally new challenges, modifications to existing ones, and express their preferences. The set of potential challenges is described in the event website at https://github.com/CAIDA/bgp-hackathon/wiki/List-of-Challenges and will continuously evolve in the days preceding the hackathon. On Saturday morning, participants will very briefly introduce their interests and ideas and teams will be officially formed. On Saturday and Sunday, participants will work together in teams to hack and develop their ideas, culminating in very short presentations to the jury on Sunday evening and a party to announce the winning teams and celebrate everyone's participation. During the event, domain-experts will provide support to the teams. Participants are free to work on drafted challenges and on their own ideas in the days preceding the hackathon. A mailing list and documentation will provide support on the platforms/tools/data used in the hackathon. However, for the teams to compete in the hackathon for prizes, they will have to demonstrate that substantial work was done during the two-day event. ### PARTICIPATION AND TRAVEL GRANTS Application to participate in the hackathon is open from December 8, 2016. Application does not guarantee participation. There is no application fee, and no participation fee. We will accept applications until one week before the hackathon, or until capacity is reached. However, the deadline to apply for a travel grant (through the hackathon application form) is 22 December 2015. Travel grants reimburse flights and hotel expenses. Food and drinks will be provided throughout the two-day event. http://www.caida.org/workshops/bgp-hackathon/1602/

TTM and TTM-based DNSMON visualisations coming to an end
by Romeo Zwart 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

Dear colleagues, In July 2014 the RIPE NCC ended its data collection for the Test Traffic Measurement (TTM) project. Visualisations of the TTM data collected until that date, and of the DNSMON data collected via the TTM servers, were kept active for interested parties until now. We plan to stop providing visualisations of the old TTM and DNSMON data as of 1 January 2016. Of course the current DNSMON service (https://dnsmon.ripe.net), based on RIPE Atlas, will not be impacted in any way by this change. Raw data from TTM and TTM-based DNSMON will remain available from the RIPE NCC upon request. We welcome your feedback. Please send any feedback you have to <romeo.zwart(a)ripe.net> directly, or alternatively send your comments to the DNS WG mailing list. Kind regards, Romeo Zwart
