New on RIPE Labs: Exploring the Idea of RIPE Atlas Virtual Probes
by Mirjam Kuehne 21 Dec '15

21 Dec '15

Dear colleagues, The concept of virtual probes is one that RIPE Atlas users have asked about for quite some time. Although we don't plan to make virtual probes available in 2016, we do plan to investigate this idea and develop some prototypes. Please find more details on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/exploring-the-idea-of-r… Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Ripe RRC setup for ris
by Wolff, Nick 17 Dec '15

17 Dec '15

Hello all, Are there any details anywhere on replicating the RIPE RRC setup for local use. Either the old Quagga style or the new exabgp. Even just articles on setting up quagga MRT logging and storage would be appreciated if any exist.

CAIDA BGP Hackathon 6, 7 Feb 2016 -- Call for Participation
by Alberto Dainotti 09 Dec '15

09 Dec '15

What: CAIDA BGP Hackathon, Call for Participation (CFP) When: Feb 6-7, 2016 Where: the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) on the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) campus. Who: Parties interested in hacking on live BGP data. Inquiries: bgp-hackathon-info(a)caida.org Important Deadline: Dec 22, 2015 for travel grant requests Apply to attend: http://www.caida.org/workshops/bgp-hackathon/1602/ CAIDA, in cooperation with CSU, USC, UFMG, FORTH, Route Views, RIPE NCC, will host a BGP Hackathon on the 6-7th of February 2016 at UC San Diego (La Jolla, CA, USA). The theme of the hackathon is “live BGP measurements and monitoring”. We will provide participating teams with access to data sources and a toolbox: live streaming of BGP data, the new BGPMon interface, BGP processing tools and APIs such as the opensource BGPStream software framework, the PEERING testbed, RIPE RIS, visualization tools, and data-plane active measurement platforms such as CAIDA Ark and RIPE Atlas. Participating teams will work on "challenges" that extend, integrate and demonstrate the utility of these platforms/data for understanding or solving practical problems (e.g., detecting BGP prefix hijacking, evaluating anycast performance, effectively visualizing phenomena). The hackathon will be held in San Diego the weekend immediately preceding the NANOG conference and the AIMS academic Internet measurement workshop. The hackathon aims to: - bring together these different communities, e.g., to discuss problems operators face that academics may want to research; - advertise tools (e.g., PEERING peering.usc.edu, BGPStream bgpstream.caida.org) to the communities and get people familiar with using them, and encourage further use in the future; - get people working together on interesting/important problems, hopefully spurring further collaboration on these problems; - provide extra incentive for students to attend NANOG. ### FORMAT Each team of 2-4 people will work on a "challenge". The organization committee will propose a set of challenges to bootstrap feedback and refinement based on community input: participants can propose totally new challenges, modifications to existing ones, and express their preferences. The set of potential challenges is described in the event website at https://github.com/CAIDA/bgp-hackathon/wiki/List-of-Challenges and will continuously evolve in the days preceding the hackathon. On Saturday morning, participants will very briefly introduce their interests and ideas and teams will be officially formed. On Saturday and Sunday, participants will work together in teams to hack and develop their ideas, culminating in very short presentations to the jury on Sunday evening and a party to announce the winning teams and celebrate everyone's participation. During the event, domain-experts will provide support to the teams. Participants are free to work on drafted challenges and on their own ideas in the days preceding the hackathon. A mailing list and documentation will provide support on the platforms/tools/data used in the hackathon. However, for the teams to compete in the hackathon for prizes, they will have to demonstrate that substantial work was done during the two-day event. ### PARTICIPATION AND TRAVEL GRANTS Application to participate in the hackathon is open from December 8, 2016. Application does not guarantee participation. There is no application fee, and no participation fee. We will accept applications until one week before the hackathon, or until capacity is reached. However, the deadline to apply for a travel grant (through the hackathon application form) is 22 December 2015. Travel grants reimburse flights and hotel expenses. Food and drinks will be provided throughout the two-day event. http://www.caida.org/workshops/bgp-hackathon/1602/

TTM and TTM-based DNSMON visualisations coming to an end
by Romeo Zwart 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

Dear colleagues, In July 2014 the RIPE NCC ended its data collection for the Test Traffic Measurement (TTM) project. Visualisations of the TTM data collected until that date, and of the DNSMON data collected via the TTM servers, were kept active for interested parties until now. We plan to stop providing visualisations of the old TTM and DNSMON data as of 1 January 2016. Of course the current DNSMON service (https://dnsmon.ripe.net), based on RIPE Atlas, will not be impacted in any way by this change. Raw data from TTM and TTM-based DNSMON will remain available from the RIPE NCC upon request. We welcome your feedback. Please send any feedback you have to <romeo.zwart(a)ripe.net> directly, or alternatively send your comments to the DNS WG mailing list. Kind regards, Romeo Zwart

New on RIPE Labs: Researching F-root Anycast Placement Using RIPE Atlas
by Mirjam Kuehne 14 Oct '15

Dear colleagues, Please find a new article on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/ray_bellis/researching-f-root-anycast-placeme… In order to expand the reach of F-root, Ray Bellis looked at where queries to F-root are coming from and where it would make most sense to place new nodes. As a first step, Ray looked at the existing nodes to see how they behave and if there is anything that can be improved. He used RIPE Atlas to do this. Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Dear colleagues, When operators and researchers use data from BGP route collectors such as RIS and Route Views, it's not easy to tell if a path announced to a collector is an ISP's customer cone, an internal route, or one learned from peering or transit.

Requested Feature: RIS Prefixes
by Christian Teuschel 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

Dear colleagues, In May this year there was a feature request from Job Snijders to have RIPEstat provide transitted prefixes for an ASN. See [0] for more details. Over the summer we worked on this feature. As a result we now have a new data call in the RIPEstat API called RIS Prefixes. This data call reports the prefixes for a given ASN that are seen on the AS paths between the origin and RIS. You can see an example using the RIPE NCC's ASN (AS3333): http://stat.ripe.net/data/ris-prefixes/data.json?resource=AS3333&list_prefi… The data call supports the additional parameter of tailoring the output to your needs. See [1] for more details. The data is based on data collected by the RIPE NCC's RIS network (see [2]), and the output therefore reflects the perspective of RIS. Important to interpreting the data correctly is the definition of a transit: for this dataset, a transit is defined as any ASN appearing on the AS path for a route that is not the origin. We understand that the term “transit" can also imply the business relationship between networks, which would provide a list of prefixes that could be referred to as prefixes in the customer cone of a network. At this point in time, the customer cone itself cannot be extracted from the RIS data in a way that is exact and reliable. The RIS Prefixes data call provides a SUPERSET of prefixes considered the customer cone. During the coming months we will further investigate the possibilities of determining customer prefixes with RIS/RIPEstat. Meanwhile, we welcome suggestions from the community for approaches to solve this issue. We look forward to hearing from you, Christian Teuschel & Romeo Zwart RIPE NCC [0] https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/mat-wg/2015-May/000588.html [1] https://stat.ripe.net/docs/data_api#RISPrefixes [2] https://www.ripe.net/ris
