Recent RIPEstat improvements
by Ann Barcomb 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Hello, We have recently released several improvements to RIPEstat which we would like to inform you of. First, we have improved the amount of information available about each widget. If you click on the 'Info' link, you will see information about data sources, data timeliness, and interpretation of the visualisation. Second, the Object Browser for the RIPE DB is now serving up realtime data! Try out the Object Browser: https://stat.ripe.net/widget/object-browser This change has also been documented in the Object Browser article on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripestat-objects-browser-for-ripe-datab… Third, the Address Space Hierarchy widget can now optionally query the APNIC database. This is the first step toward offering results independent of the data source. Try out the Address Space Hierarchy widget: https://stat.ripe.net/widget/address-space-hierarchy The related RIPE Labs article was also updated: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripestat-address-space-hierarchy-widget Kind Regards, Ann -- Ann Barcomb RIPE NCC Community Builder http://www.ripe.net Measurements Community Building +31 20 535 4444

Short update on TTM service
by Vesna Manojlovic 05 Jul '12

05 Jul '12

Dear colleagues, We received a lot of feedback from the community after we announced our proposal to discontinue TTM at RIPE 64. After reviewing the RIPE community's feedback and reevaluating our own planning, we are pleased to announce that we will continue supporting TTM until sometime in 2013. As presented during the MAT Working Group and RIPE NCC Services Working Group sessions at RIPE 64, we plan to implement RIPE Atlas Anchors and to migrate DNSMON functionality to RIPE Atlas. We will do this in parallel to the current TTM infrastructure in order to give the RIPE community enough time to build confidence in and test the new infrastructure. We will give you more details about transition in early September and look forward to discussing our proposed plans with you at RIPE 65 in Amsterdam. If you are a TTM host you have received a more detailed version of this email, if this is not the case then please contact with me and I would be more than happy to provide further information for you. I wish you relaxed summer holidays. Kind regards, Vesna -- Vesna Manojlovic BECHA(a)ripe.net Senior Community Builder +31205354444 for Measurement Tools RIPE NCC http://ripe.net

RIPE Atlas / UDM as a replacement for TTM
by Gert Doering 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Hi, things have been strangely silent on the topic of "the end of the TTM boxes" after the last RIPE meeting - so let me try to stir this somewhat. I've been told that UDMs in Atlas "can do what I need" (use RIPE measurements to prove to our customers that our Internet reachability is good). It might, but I find it surprising painful, as I can only request pings from "10 probes at a time" in the UDM - and for reasonable accuracy, we'd need something of at least the size of TTM (100+ probes), or *better*, as we know that individual Atlas probes are not expected to have the same network stability as a TTM box ("always up. ALWAYS!") - setting up 30 or more individual UDMs to get 150 clients each to ping our two TTM boxes is... not the way to go. Second, I'm a bit confused how to automatedly download the .json-format UDM results - while I'm logged in, clicking on the link gives me a nice .json download, but when using the same link with wget, I get a login page. I'm not overly willing to download 30 UDM result files manually every day - so there must be some way to use "wget" etc. to get these data files... any hints on that? Example link: https://udm01.atlas.ripe.net/atlas/udm_download.json?attach=1&msm_id=100200… Third, we still need reasonable ping targets in our network, that are sort of "not under our control" (to meet the goal of "the RIPE NCC does these measurements, they are neutral, so we're not faking anything here") - and that are not part of the normal network churn that www.space.net or one of our routers might have. So far we use the TTM boxes for that - but they might die of old age some day... Which brings back the topic of the Atlas Anchor boxes... any news on that? Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v. Bomhard Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 Aufsichtsratsvors.: A.
