by Philip Homburg 13 Feb '20

13 Feb '20

Dear colleagues, We are glad to announce that, after several months of development and testing, we are now accepting applications for RIPE Atlas software probes. With several different installation options to choose from, software probes provide future hosts a whole new way to get involved with RIPE Atlas. For more details, see our new article on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/alun_davies/ripe-atlas-software-probes Kind regards, Philip

New on RIPE Labs: Modelling BBR’s Interactions with Loss-based Congestion Control
by Mirjam Kuehne 03 Feb '20

03 Feb '20

Dear colleagues, BBR has rapidly become a major player in Internet congestion control. BBR’s fairness or friendliness to other connections has recently come under scrutiny as measurements from multiple research groups have shown undesirable outcomes when BBR competes with traditional congestion control algorithms (CCAs). In this research Ranysha Ware, PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University, developed a model capturing BBR’s behaviour in competition with loss-based CCAs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/ranysha_ware/modelling-bbr2019s-interactions-… Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC
