by Stephen Strowes 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

Hi, There is an open request on the IRTF's PEARG list, seeking feedback on a draft document, "Guidelines for Performing Safe Measurement on the Internet". The MAT WG has expertise and probably feedback to share. The request with appropriate pointers is here: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/pearg/-qGRRbBAZ2YAytwt4lpxVcQ7OZE/ Feedback on the draft is welcome either on their RG discuss list, or by filing issues directly against the git repo. Cheers, S.

Unauthenticated user access to RIPE Atlas
by Ben Cartwright-Cox 03 Nov '23

03 Nov '23

Hello everybody! I was wondering around what are the rules and views on “open user access” to RIPE Atlas ( as in non-authenticated users being able to make RIPE atlas measurements) I ask because as of this morning I noticed that hurricane electric’s bgp.he.net tool is now allowing users to make right atlas measurements without any authentication to RIPE Atlas, this was surprising to me as when I asked a NCC staff member at the last meeting in Berlin about doing something similar to this I was explicitly told that this would not be desired. I cannot remember who told me this ( and I don't have an easy way of finding out again ) but assuming this is allowed I will happily copy this for bgp.tools But I'd like to check with Atlas people before doing such a thing.

24 Oct '23

Hi all, RIPE87 is coming up: the meeting will take place 27 November -- 1 December. Once again, we are seeking your presentations for the next MAT WG session, scheduled on Tuesday, 28 November! Presentations for the WG session are preferably 10-15min long. Please include in your proposal: * a title * a draft copy of your proposed presentation, even if just an outline * a paragraph describing the topic, and why the topic is of interest for the community. Interesting topics include (but are not limited to): recent measurement research which has an operational impact; recent operational work that may open avenues to research; projects, tools, or datasets that support either operations or research. Please submit your presentation proposal by **Friday, 27 October** by emailing us at mat-wg-chairs at ripe.net. We will make our selections and post the agenda soon after. RIPE meetings are fully hybrid with sessions facilitated through meetecho; we encourage presentations from anywhere. For our planning, we'd appreciate it if you can indicate whether you are likely to be online or on-site. Please ask if you have any questions regarding the setup on either side. Thanks! Nina, Massimo, Stephen, as WG co-chairs

new discussion list for discussing network neutrality/title ii issues rationally
by Dave Taht 11 Oct '23

11 Oct '23

With the return of the NN discussion and regulation in the USA as of Oct 19th... https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-chairwoman-rosenworcels-net-neutrality-rem… and especially with my lack of knowledge and understanding of pending EU regulation, I decided to start a good ole fashioned mailing list to try and sort it all out, which is up to nearly 200 members now. Sign up here: https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/nnagain I am especially interested in finding new blood of all sorts (engineers, lawyers, scientists, foss folk, and infrastructure folk) willing to discuss possible brighter futures for the internet (with us old farts via this archaic method. I considered trying mastodon but it was too complicated). New metrics for videoconferencing, as well as lower layer metrics like MTTR an MTBF are on my mind, as is finding ways to improve QoE for everyone, and de-crapification of the upper layers of the stack, as well as of the gear we buy. There is a separate NPRM going on for a new FCC CyberSecurity label, which I would like to see more teeth pushed into, honestly. My hope is, one day, we can provide good feedback into various overwhelmed government processes, as we did here, 7+ years ago. http://www.taht.net/~d/fcc_saner_software_practices.pdf PS - is anyone here participating in the renewed cybergeography project? -- Oct 30: https://netdevconf.info/0x17/news/the-maestro-and-the-music-bof.html Dave Täht CSO, LibreQos
