RIPE NCC is Migrating the RIS Dashboard to RIPEstat
by Vesna Manojlovic 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Dear colleagues, I would like to remind you of our announcement, made last month. In the coming days, we will be migrating RIS data visualisation to RIPEstat: http://stat.ripe.net We will, therefore, be decommissioning some of the outdated RIS interfaces and tools, and the old backend. We still welcome your feedback, so please let us know your comments so that we can accommodate your needs. More information can be found in the original announcement, below. Regards, Vesna Manojlovic Our Routing Information Service (RIS) has been collecting global BGP routing information for 12 years now. During this period, many different interfaces to analyse and visualise accumulated data have been developed. In line with our long-term goals to provide more consolidated services, we will be integrating the RIS interface's tools and services into RIPEstat. More information about this is detailed in a new RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/fatemah_mafi/improved-routing-information-ava… We invite the community to comment on these upcoming changes at MAT-WG. Please submit any requests for additional features via email to stat(a)ripe.net so that we can implement these along with the planned migration of tools and features, or have them added to the RIPEstat Roadmap for later consideration: http://roadmap.ripe.net/ripe-stat/ We look forward to your feedback. Regards, Vesna -- Vesna Manojlovic BECHA(a)ripe.net Senior Community Builder @Ms_Measurements for Measurements Tools RIPE NCC http://ripe.net

Cool, don't have to NAT! > Just pass it along." :-) If only we had data ;). It would be interesting, indeed, to see how feasible spoofing is in a natted environment, broadband access networks in particular. It seems that this is the case where spoofing may cause serious problems to the provider itself, as opposed to someone else in the Internet. So, one could assume that even if there are NATs that allow this stupid thing, there maybe DOCSIS SAV and other safeguards in the BB provider provisioning system. Andrei

Using Atlas for commercial services
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

[Originally discussed on the RIPE Atlas users mailing list and forwarded here per suggestion of Daniel Karrenberg, to be sure the proper WG has a say.] After reading the Atlas ToS <https://atlas.ripe.net/service-rules/> and checking the FAQ <https://atlas.ripe.net/about/faq/>, I still have a question: Can I use Atlas as a basis for commercial services? The ToS is silent about it. The list in <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/kranjbar/future-of-ripe-ncc-technical-services> gives interesting ideas about new uses of Atlas (specially the part about using Atlas to monitor reachability from Nagios, which could become a service sold to people). Of course, Atlas is "best effort", so one cannot sue the RIPE-NCC if it breaks and stops the commercial service. But it still can be an interesting platform. Today, most Atlas uses seem to be for public research, or for "selfish" measurements (checking my network), including by commercial organisations. But I see nothing forbidding people to sell services (monitoring, quality assessment) to other people, based on Atlas. Is it a good idea to explicitely allow or disallow such services?

Instead, commercial companies will start hosting many probes in single room not for sake of community but for sake of getting credits. /Alex Saroyan Stephane Bortzmeyer <bortzmeyer(a)nic.fr> wrote: >On Fri, Sep 06, 2013 at 11:04:44AM +0200, > Peter Koch <pk(a)DENIC.DE> wrote > a message of 11 lines which said: > >> but don't forget credit transfers, even if that doesn't change the >> sum. > >You can get credits through a transfer easily when you are a poor >student having an interesting research project.
