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

Dear colleagues, I’m pasting the announcement of the MOOC on Internet Measurements that my colleague, Timur Friedman, and I are doing. Classes start 23 May 2016 and run through 19 June 2016. I note that the MOOC is free. Please help us advertise to people who can be potentially interested. Best regards, Renata The MOOC "Internet Measurements: a Hands-on Introduction" will be available soon on the platform France Université Numérique. It will be taught by Timur Friedman from UPMC and Renata Teixeira from Inria. This course is taught in English and will cover internet measurement basics, including network topology and routes; connectivity, losses, latency, and geolocation; bandwidth; and traffic measurements; with hands-on exercises on PlanetLab Europe. This course is of interest to a wide range of people: system or network operators, designers of applications or services running over the internet or just curious end-users who would like to better diagnose problems. The prerequisite for this course is a level of understanding of internet technology that comes from an advanced undergraduate course or a first Masters course in networking, or equivalent professional experience. Program: Week 1 : Introduction Week 2 : Topology and routes Week 3 : Connectivity, losses, latency, and geolocation Week 4 : Bandwidth Week 5 : Traffic measurements It will be available from May, 23, to June, 19, 2016.

New on RIPE Labs: Support for Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) in DNS Resolvers as Seen by RIPE Atlas
by Mirjam Kuehne 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Dear colleagues, Please find this new article on RIPE Labs contributed by Maciej Andzinski: The Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is becoming increasingly popular in DNSSEC. While it is sometimes considered to be a remedy for the low DNSSEC adoption rate, there is also a lot of controversy around it. One of the main concerns is that DNSSEC-validating resolvers don't always make use of ECC. We used RIPE Atlas to measure the support for ECC in DNS resolvers. https://labs.ripe.net/Members/maciej_andzinski_2/support-for-elliptic-curve… Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC
