New on RIPE Labs: Enabling Data Compression in RIPE Atlas
by Vesna Manojlovic 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

Dear colleagues, We’d like to enable gzip compression on all of RIPE Atlas' measurement API calls — but thanks to the BREACH vulnerability, doing so could mean that some enterprising individual with an obscene amount of time on their hands might be able read the contents of the responses. This means measurement results as well as metadata for measurements — including the small number of measurements not marked as “public”. We believe the drawbacks are negligible, but we’re looking for community support. Find out more in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/daniel_quinn_39/enabling-data-compression-in-… Regards, Vesna Manojlovic

Re: [mat-wg] feature request: have stat report on transitted prefixes
by Christian Teuschel 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

Dear colleagues, I wanted to follow-up on Job's feature request, about RIPEstat also displaying prefixes transited by an ASN, since several of you also said you would find this feature useful. Supporting this feature will require some work on RIPEstat's front-end as well as on the back-end (our Hadoop storage platform). Implementing this for all available historic RIS data would have a large impact on our storage capacity. However, we will be able to implement this feature for a sliding window of 30 days, as you suggested. So RIPEstat will be able to show the prefixes for which an ASN provided transit during the previous 30 days. At the moment I don't have a concrete delivery date for this feature, but we will merge the necessary development work into our work plan and let you know before the end of June when we expect to be able to support this feature in RIPEstat. We will make sure it is implemented before RIPE 71 in November. Please let me know if you have any further feedback or questions.

Eleven new RIPE Atlas anchors have joined the community
by Michela Galante 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Dear colleagues, More and more organisations from all over the world are hosting RIPE Atlas anchors: in the last 6 weeks, on average, 2 anchors were activated every week! We are proud to announce that eleven new RIPE Atlas anchors have been activated since our previous announcement, bringing the total to 132: * us-els-as40528 located in El Segundo, California and us-rtv-as16876 located in Reston, Virginia, hosted by ICANN. * nl-dro-as51430, hosted by ALTUSHOST B.V. in Dronten, The Netherlands. * us-pou-as6124 hosted by Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York. * pk-isb-as7590 hosted by COMSATS Internet Services in Islamabad, Pakistan, and sponsored by APNIC. * ph-qzt-as9821 hosted by ASTI in Quezon City, Philippines, and sponsored by APNIC. * nl-hrd-as34612 hosted by Matrix DATA in Harderwijk, The Netherlands. * at-szg-as5404 hosted by conova communications GmbH in Salzburg, Austria. * fr-ysd-as201958 hosted by ADP in Saint-Denis, France. * de-fra-as49024 hosted by FHE3 GmbH in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. * de-ham-as201709 hosted by Netzwerge Hamburg eK in Hamburg, Germany. 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 individuals and 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 Regards, Michela Galante Measurements Community Building RIPE NCC
