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: All Quiet in the IPv4 Internet?
by Mirjam Kuehne 21 Sep '16

21 Sep '16

Dear colleagues, Please find this new article on RIPE Labs by Philipp Richter: All Quiet in the IPv4 Internet? The number of new IPv4 allocations has stagnated, address markets have taken off, and address sharing mechanisms (for example, Carrier-Grade NAT) are on the rise as operators try to squeeze the most out of their IPv4 address space. But what is really happening in the IPv4 address space? Measuring address space activity at scale is difficult. There’s really no single vantage point that can capture all the activity.

You can follow the discussion there, and you can find more information this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ipv4-only-ripe-atlas-an… Interested in hosting a RIPE Atlas anchor? Learn more: https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/become-an-anchor-host/ 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 several organisations that want to host a RIPE Atlas anchor but don’t have the necessary funding. To learn more about sponsoring an anchor, or for any other questions, please contact us at atlas(a)ripe.net And don’t forget to let us know if you’re doing something interesting with RIPE Atlas data - we always want to hear about your use cases, research and experiences!

Two weeks left to join RIPE NCC IXP Tools Hackathon, 22-23 October, Madrid
by Vesna Manojlovic 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Dear colleagues, together with Euro-IX, Comcast and ISOC, the RIPE NCC is hosting a hackathon focused on developing tools for Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), in the weekend before RIPE73, in Madrid: https://atlas.ripe.net/hackathon/ixp-tools/#!the-event While the past three hackathons have specifically focused on RIPE Atlas, this event will include other data sources as well, such as: the Routing Information Service (RIS) and the PeeringDB. We will work on existing software tools that deal with IXP-data-integration in order to solve some of the challenges that operators have when making peering decisions, and to illustrate the impact of IXPs on the Internet routing and connectivity. We are looking for designers and developers, students and network operators, and of course colleagues from IXPs, to work together on hacking the new & old toolsets and visualizations! All source code developed during the hackathon will be publicly licensed and available on GitHub, and will be free for the entire community to use. -------------------- How to Apply -------------------- Interested? Learn more and apply online today! https://atlas.ripe.net/hackathon/ixp-tools/#!application-form *The application deadline is 15 September* Thanks to our generous sponsors, there is a (limited) travel funding available for certain categories of applicants. Please find more information in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/announcing-the-ixp-tool… We look forward to seeing you there!
