Eleven new RIPE Atlas anchors have joined the community
by Michela Galante 11 Sep '15

11 Sep '15

Dear colleagues, More and more organisations from all over the world are hosting RIPE Atlas anchors: on average, one anchor is activated every week! We are proud to announce that eleven new RIPE Atlas anchors have been activated since our previous announcement, bringing the total to 143: * mv-mle-as7642 hosted by DHIRAAGU in Male, Maldive, and sponsored by APNIC. * bd-dac-as24122 hosted by BDIX in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and sponsored by APNIC. * sg-sin-as18106 hosted by ViewQwest in Singapore, Singapore. * Three anchors hosted by Aflilias in United States: us-qas-as393246 in Ashburn (Virginia), us-lax-as63403 in Los Angeles (California), and us-mia-as33280 in Miami (Florida) * Three anchors hosted by Booking.com: de-fra-as43996 in Frankfurt am Main (Germany), us-abn-as43996 in Ashburn (Virginia), United States, and hk-hkg-as43996 in Hong Kong. * ca-van-as852 hosted by Telus in Vancouver, Canada. * nl-haa-as60781 hosted by Leaseweb Network in Haarlem, The Netherlands. The map of all anchor locations is available at: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/map/ You can access the anchoring measurements for all anchors at: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/list/ And here are the logos and links to hosting companies: https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/community/#!tab-anchor-sponsors We are still accepting new applications from organisations interested in hosting a RIPE Atlas anchor. We are particularly interested in deploying anchors in the Middle East, Western Asia, Latin America and Africa, in order to add more geographical diversity to the measurement data. There are more organisations that want to host a RIPE Atlas anchor but don’t have the necessary funding. To learn more about sponsoring an anchor, please contact us at mcb(a)ripe.net To apply for your own RIPE Atlas anchor: https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/become-an-anchor-host/ For any other questions, please contact us at atlas(a)ripe.net Regards, Michela Galante Measurements Community Building RIPE NCC

New on RIPE Labs: Enabling Data Compression in RIPE Atlas
by Vesna Manojlovic 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

Dear colleagues, We’d like to enable gzip compression on all of RIPE Atlas' measurement API calls — but thanks to the BREACH vulnerability, doing so could mean that some enterprising individual with an obscene amount of time on their hands might be able read the contents of the responses. This means measurement results as well as metadata for measurements — including the small number of measurements not marked as “public”. We believe the drawbacks are negligible, but we’re looking for community support. Find out more in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/daniel_quinn_39/enabling-data-compression-in-… Regards, Vesna Manojlovic

Dear colleagues, Please find a new article on RIPE Labs: The Internet in North Korea - Hanging by a Single Thread? We used RIPE Atlas and RIPEstat to investigate North Korea's Internet connectivity in light of recent outages and discuss the fragile nature of its setup. https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/the-internet-in-north-korea-hanging… Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Network Neutrality - Latest on Regulation
by Gordon Lennox 14 Jul '15

14 Jul '15

http://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2015/07/08-roaming-c… There is a link to the regulation as PDF. "How will this become a law? The agreed text will undergo technical finalisation. It then needs to be formally approved by the Council and the Parliament. The Council is expected to formally adopt it in the autumn 2015. This does not need to take place in the Telecom Council: any Council configuration has the power to adopt the legal act. The regulation will enter into force 20 days after its publication in the EU Official Journal.”

Probe and measurement archives vs. the APIs
by Robert Kisteleki 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Dear All, We've observed recently that some users are using scripts to "crawl" through all the metadata provided by the probe and measurement APIs. This means that some people out there download basically the entire probe and/or measurement meta data set the system provides. As you can imagine, this is highly inefficient and keeps our servers busy. We believe that there could be better solutions. We have been providing the downloadable archive for probe metadata for some time now, and recently we've added the measurement metadata too. You can now reach these at http://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/atlas/ This way one can even get complete sets of metadata as far back as January 2015 for measurement specifications and March 2014 for probe data. Given the existence of these archives, we will apply a sane limit on how much metadata can be reached via the APIs. In practice this means that the API will not allow fetching results beyond, say, 10.000 (i.e. 500 pages of 20) entries. This is after the application of filters, so for example with no filters at all you could still access metadata of the 10k newest measurements, while if you filter for DNS measurements only, you could get the 10k newest of those, and so on. We believe this keeps the metadata API useful for the majority of the users, while the existence of the archive serves the remaining cases. Our plan is to make this change around the end of July. Regards, Robert Kisteleki

Re: [mat-wg] feature request: have stat report on transitted prefixes
by Christian Teuschel 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

Dear colleagues, I wanted to follow-up on Job's feature request, about RIPEstat also displaying prefixes transited by an ASN, since several of you also said you would find this feature useful. Supporting this feature will require some work on RIPEstat's front-end as well as on the back-end (our Hadoop storage platform). Implementing this for all available historic RIS data would have a large impact on our storage capacity. However, we will be able to implement this feature for a sliding window of 30 days, as you suggested. So RIPEstat will be able to show the prefixes for which an ASN provided transit during the previous 30 days. At the moment I don't have a concrete delivery date for this feature, but we will merge the necessary development work into our work plan and let you know before the end of June when we expect to be able to support this feature in RIPEstat. We will make sure it is implemented before RIPE 71 in November. Please let me know if you have any further feedback or questions.
