Requested Feature: RIS Prefixes
by Christian Teuschel 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

Dear colleagues, In May this year there was a feature request from Job Snijders to have RIPEstat provide transitted prefixes for an ASN. See [0] for more details. Over the summer we worked on this feature. As a result we now have a new data call in the RIPEstat API called RIS Prefixes. This data call reports the prefixes for a given ASN that are seen on the AS paths between the origin and RIS. You can see an example using the RIPE NCC's ASN (AS3333): http://stat.ripe.net/data/ris-prefixes/data.json?resource=AS3333&list_prefi… The data call supports the additional parameter of tailoring the output to your needs. See [1] for more details. The data is based on data collected by the RIPE NCC's RIS network (see [2]), and the output therefore reflects the perspective of RIS. Important to interpreting the data correctly is the definition of a transit: for this dataset, a transit is defined as any ASN appearing on the AS path for a route that is not the origin. We understand that the term “transit" can also imply the business relationship between networks, which would provide a list of prefixes that could be referred to as prefixes in the customer cone of a network. At this point in time, the customer cone itself cannot be extracted from the RIS data in a way that is exact and reliable. The RIS Prefixes data call provides a SUPERSET of prefixes considered the customer cone. During the coming months we will further investigate the possibilities of determining customer prefixes with RIS/RIPEstat. Meanwhile, we welcome suggestions from the community for approaches to solve this issue. We look forward to hearing from you, Christian Teuschel & Romeo Zwart RIPE NCC [0] https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/mat-wg/2015-May/000588.html [1] https://stat.ripe.net/docs/data_api#RISPrefixes [2] https://www.ripe.net/ris

Eleven new RIPE Atlas anchors have joined the community
by Michela Galante 11 Sep '15

11 Sep '15

Dear colleagues, More and more organisations from all over the world are hosting RIPE Atlas anchors: on average, one anchor is 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 143: * mv-mle-as7642 hosted by DHIRAAGU in Male, Maldive, and sponsored by APNIC. * bd-dac-as24122 hosted by BDIX in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and sponsored by APNIC. * sg-sin-as18106 hosted by ViewQwest in Singapore, Singapore. * Three anchors hosted by Aflilias in United States: us-qas-as393246 in Ashburn (Virginia), us-lax-as63403 in Los Angeles (California), and us-mia-as33280 in Miami (Florida) * Three anchors hosted by Booking.com: de-fra-as43996 in Frankfurt am Main (Germany), us-abn-as43996 in Ashburn (Virginia), United States, and hk-hkg-as43996 in Hong Kong. * ca-van-as852 hosted by Telus in Vancouver, Canada. * nl-haa-as60781 hosted by Leaseweb Network in Haarlem, The 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 Regards, Michela Galante Measurements Community Building RIPE NCC

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
