IPv6 extension headers support on RIPE Atlas
by Jen Linkova 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

[ This is a outcome of some online&offline discussions we have had on IETF8 ] There are some ongoing efforts to measure IPv6 extension headers filtering in the Internet (in particular, see Fernando Gont's talk: http://www.iepg.org/2013-11-ietf88/fgont-iepg-ietf88-ipv6-frag-and-eh.pdf ) While individuals are running some experiments from their networks, I think it would be extremely useful to run distributed measurements using Atlas to understand the current situation and possible impact better. Therefore it would be great if Atlas supports: - inserting Ipv6 extension headers into probe packets. Ideally user should be allowed to define a chain of extension headers as specified in RFC2460. In particular, it would be nice to insert the following headers: -- Hop-by-Hop Options -- Fragment -- Destination Options - HTTP measurements (Tim, please add particular requirements if you have any). If anyone else would like to see such features supported by Atlas - please speak up! -- SY, Jen Linkova aka Furry

Dear colleagues, Please find a new article on RIPE Labs: Typhoon Haiyan - What do We see in RIPEstat and RIPE Atlas https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/typhoon-haiyan-what-we-see-in-ripes… For now we only see a modest effect of typhoon on the Philippine Core Internet Infrastructure.

Asking methods to monitor used IPs
by Jahangir Asadi 07 Nov '13

07 Nov '13

Dear Sir or Madam I have some customers who I have allocated high band width with wide ranges of IPv4 addresses to. Because of lack of IPv4, I would like to see that how many IPs they are using. It would be grateful if you tell me how can I do this and what soft ware I have to use to monitor the used IPs. I would like to thank you in advance and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Regards. Jahangir Asadi Network Manager of Padidar Information Technology (Your LIR Member and the owner of AS198357)

Announcing the RIPE Atlas Anchors Service
by Vesna Manojlovic 07 Nov '13

07 Nov '13

Dear colleagues, We're pleased to announce that RIPE Atlas anchors went into production at the RIPE 67 Meeting in Athens in October 2013. Anchors are both enhanced RIPE Atlas probes with more measurement capacity, as well as regional measurement targets within the greater RIPE Atlas network. The RIPE Atlas anchors pilot ran for a year, and now there are 15 anchors deployed. The RIPE NCC's goal is to have 50 anchors in operation around the world by the end of 2014. We are now actively seeking applications from those interested in and capable of hosting a RIPE Atlas anchor in their own networks. Find out what RIPE Atlas anchors are all about, the benefits of hosting an anchor, and how you can get involved: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/announcing-the-ripe-atl… Regards, Vesna

Re: [mat-wg] IPv6 extension headers support on RIPE Atlas

The others you're right about, they probably won't work well anyhow. But extension nnd fragment headers have real legitimate use and we should try to assure that these work properly on the wider Internet. If someone at the edge decides they don't want these then that's fine, but if there are routers out there that by default treat these badly, I think it's good if everybody knows this. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike(a)swm.pp.se

Traceroute visualisation
by Mike Hughes 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

Good talk by Emile on visualisation of traceroutes and the various sources of geo-loc that can be munged and derived to try and give more accurate info. While there was talk of commercial geo-loc such as Maxmind, what about mining the DNS for LOC records? Has there been any investigation of that? Or am I just an ossified dinosaur, talking about LOC records? :) Cheers, Mike

Ambient measurements
by Richard Barnes 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

Hey all, As a follow-up to Mikael's point in AOB at the MAT meeting today (that there are lots of statistics already being kept by hosts, e.g., in TCP stacks): I did a presentation at the IEPG back at the Beijing IETF about the idea of standardizing a "Network Measurement Reporting" language, so that things like ping and traceroute could share their results with the rest of the Internet. <http://iepg.org/2010-11-ietf79/NMR-IEPG.pdf> It's long enough ago that I don't remember precisely what the feedback was. But no further work got done, so it probably wasn't that positive :) Nonetheless, I continue to think that collecting ambient measurement data is a really interesting idea, so it would be cool to hear what others here think. Cheers, --Richard

Completed Migration of RIS Visualisation to RIPEstat

Completed Migration of Routing Information to RIPEstat Dear colleagues, We have now successfully completed the planned* migration of RIS data visualisation to RIPEstat: http://stat.ripe.net Our Routing Information Service (RIS) has been collecting global BGP routing information for over 12 years. During this period, many different interfaces to analyse and visualise accumulated data have been developed. Therefore, we have centralised access to the RIS interfaces and tools, and decommissioned some of the outdated interfaces and the old backend. This is in line with our long-term goal to provide more consolidated services, as communicated previously by our Chief Information Officer, Kaveh Ranjbar, in his article, "The Future of RIPE NCC Technical Services": https://labs.ripe.net/Members/kranjbar/future-of-ripe-ncc-technical-services More information about the migration of RIS data visualisation to RIPEstat is available on RIPELabs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/fatemah_mafi/improved-routing-information-ava… Please submit any requests for additional features via email to stat(a)ripe.net so that we can add these to the RIPEstat Roadmap and include them in our planning: http://roadmap.ripe.net/ripe-stat/ We look forward to your feedback. Regards, Vesna * The original announcement and the reminder can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/mat-wg/2013-August/000323.html http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/mat-wg/2013-September/000350.html
