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: Four Years of RIPE Atlas Anchors
by Mirjam Kuehne 22 Dec '16

22 Dec '16

Dear colleagues, Four years have passed since the RIPE NCC announced its plans to put RIPE Atlas anchors into production. Since the first anchors went online in 2013, we’ve been working hard to both maintain and expand the network. As a result, we currently have 238 anchors deployed across 66 countries! Please find more on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/alun_davies/four-years-of-ripe-atlas-anchors Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

New on RIPE Labs: Preparing for the 2016 Leap Second
by Mirjam Kuehne 15 Dec '16

15 Dec '16

Dear colleagues, On 31 December this year, we're scheduled for another leap second. There are many stories about what leap seconds can do to infrastructure and applications, and rituals are built up around them. Please read more on RIPE Labs in an article contributed by our new colleague Stephen Strowes: Preparing for the 2016 Leap Second https://labs.ripe.net/Members/stephen_strowes/preparing-for-the-2016-leap-s… Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

RIPE Atlas Success Story: Zoom-in on Germany
by Vesna Manojlovic 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

Dear all, we wrote an article as an example of how cross-pollination between communities can create success. An overlap between IETF participants, RIPE Atlas users and listeners of a popular German podcast has led to growth in the deployment of RIPE Atlas probes. We are still interested in expanding this platform in areas and networks that need more coverage. For pictures & links, go here: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-atlas-success-story-zoom-in-on-ger… Text is bellow. Regards, Vesna In July 2016, during the IETF meeting in Berlin, the popular "RFC podcast" had a special episode aired an interview with Daniel Karrenberg talking about the RIPE NCC and RIPE Atlas. Thanks to the podcast listeners, and with the help of promotion on Twitter, the episode prompted many, many, MANY applications for new RIPE Atlas probe hosts. Because of both summer vacations and a temporary shortage of probes, there was a delay in shipping - but when the new batch of probes arrived at our office, we started shipping them to applicants, most of whom were from Germany. Currently, with regard to the number of active probes, Germany is leading with more than 1,000. This is more than the USA, which was in the lead for the previous few years. If you want to zoom in to this success-story, you can take a look at this RIPEstat widget. There you can see that, between 22 September and 7 October, the number of activated probes jumped from 999 to 1,157. Thank you to all the hosts, in Germany and elsewhere, who are helping to build RIPE Atlas - the largest active measurements platform! Actions Although we are happy that there is so much enthusiasm in Germany, we are still interested in increasing diversity of coverage. To this end, we're looking to reach out to: - Regions, countries and areas within countries with fewer probes - Networks (ASNs) with fewer probes - Deploying RIPE Atlas anchors instead If you would like to apply for your own RIPE Atlas probe, there is a special link just for the readers of this RIPE Labs article :) If you already have a probe, and want to get in touch: - Check out the Community pages - Follow us on Twitter - Be active on the mailing list

New on RIPE Labs: Internet Access Disruption In The Gambia - 2016
by Mirjam Kuehne 02 Dec '16

Dear colleagues, We had a look at various RIPE NCC data sets to see what we can learn from yet another country-wide Internet outage in 2016 - this time The Gambia. https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/internet-access-disruption-in-the-g… Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC
