New on RIPE Labs: The New RIPEstat In Other Words
by Mirjam Kuehne 15 Oct '19

15 Oct '19

Dear colleagues, We started a complete redesign of the RIPEstat user interface. With the prototype UI having received a lot of positive feedback, we’re still busy adding new features, one of which will allow users to switch between languages when using RIPEstat. As this is a first for us, here’s more detail on what we have in mind: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/stephen_suess_1/the-new-ripestat-in-other-wor… We will tell you more about this during the RIPE 79 MAT WG session on Thursday and look forward to your feedback. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

Open Call for Presentations for MAT-WG
by Brian Trammell (RIPE) 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

Greetings, all, Our next meeting is at RIPE 79, on Thursday 17 October 2019 at 14:00, and it's time to pull together an agenda for it. Please send proposals for presentations at MAT WG to mat-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net. That said... we've actually almost *finished* pulling together an agenda for this meeting, so we're going to start doing something a little different. Nina and I have been running a queue for interesting future talks for a while (whether they be ideas we've had to solicit talks, proposals for talks we couldn't take at previous meetings, and so on), and we'd like to make that more explicit. So we're announcing that we take proposals for presentations at MAT WG *at any time* sent to mat-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net (don't worry, we'll still send reminders like this one each time a meeting is coming up :) ). When you propose a talk, please indicate whether you're only able to present at the next meeting, or whether you'd like us to keep it in the queue for future meetings if there's not room at the next one. Many thanks, cheers, Brian (as MAT-WG co-chair)

RIPE Atlas Software Probes Survey
by Alun Davies 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Dear colleagues, We are working on making the RIPE Atlas measurement software available as an installable package so you can run RIPE Atlas probes entirely in software without the need of a dedicated physical device. We are interested in your feedback regarding this feature, and we are also looking for volunteers willing to partner with us and help package the software for various operating systems and platforms. Please send your feedback and let us know if you can support RIPE Atlas software probes by filling in this short survey: https://www.ripe.net/participate/forms/apply/atlas-probes/ <https://www.ripe.net/participate/forms/apply/atlas-probes/> Kind regards, Alun Davies RIPE NCC

New on RIPE Labs: Uncovering Remote Peering at IXPs
by Mirjam Kuehne 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

Dear colleagues, Ever-increasing traffic volumes create pressure for denser and more diverse peering that challenges the traditional IXP model. A fundamental shift in peering practices is Remote Peering (RP). The authors developed and tested a methodology based on RIPE Atlas to accurately identify RP, aiming to enable a more transparent peering ecosystem.: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/vgiotsas/uncovering-remote-peering-at-interne… Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

Dear colleagues, Here are two more interesting RIPE Labs articles for your weekend reading: 1. When the Internet Goes Down: Tracking Edge Outages at Scale Philipp Richter and his colleagues from MIT and the University of Maryland present a new approach to passively detect Internet edge outages: by leveraging access logs of a major Content Distribution Network (CDN) and tracking anomalies in the access patterns of end users. https://labs.ripe.net/Members/philipp_richter/when-the-internet-goes-down-t… 2. Is the Internet Running Late? Geoff Huston is measuring variance in clock times across the Internet and concludes that almost half of the clocks on the Internet are running fast or slow. https://labs.ripe.net/Members/gih/is-the-internet-running-late Enjoy reading and the authors would love to get your feedback in the comments field.
