Plan to Implement RIPE Atlas WiFi Measurements
by Robert Kisteleki 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Dear colleagues, We wanted to update the community and let you know that we plan to start work on the proposed experiment with WiFi measurements in mid-2016. As we communicated in a recent RIPE Labs article, we will work with GÉANT as a test partner to learn more about the operational effects of introducing WiFi measurements to the RIPE Atlas system, in addition to the benefits we believe this could provide for the entire RIPE Atlas community. Please see the article for more details if you are interested: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ripe-atlas-wifi-measure… We will continue to update you once we’ve begun work on this plan, and we welcome your comments in the meantime. Regards, Robert Kisteleki RIPE NCC

New on RIPE Labs: Reasons Dynamic Addresses Change
by Mirjam Kuehne 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

Dear colleagues, Please find this new article on RIPE Labs by Ramakrishna Padmanabhan: Reasons Dynamic Addresses Change Rama looked at why dynamic addresses change and found ISPs that renumber periodically, most commonly every 24 hours or a multiple of 24 hours. He also found that outages influence address changes. RIPE Atlas was used for the measurements. https://labs.ripe.net/Members/ramakrishna_padmanabhan/reasons-dynamic-addre… Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Dear colleagues, Large BGP Communities are an addition to BGP that solves a communication problem between networks that want to use 32-bit AS Numbers. We measured how Large BGP Communities behave "in the wild" and if they create any problems. Please find the results on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/large-bgp-communities-largely-accep… Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC
