Eleven new RIPE Atlas anchors joined the community
by Vesna Manojlovic 16 May '15

16 May '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 121: * np-ktm-as45170, hosted by the Internet Exchange Nepal (NPIX) in Kathmandu, Nepal, and sponsored by APNIC. * ch-gtg-as20612, by SwissIX Internet Exchange in Glattbrugg,Switzerland * de-ber-as20647, hosted by CarrierColo / IPB GmbH in Berlin, Germany * fr-par-as57734, hosted by FranceIX in Paris, France. * fi-yyv-as30798, hosted by TNNet Oy Ltd in Jyvaskyla, Finland. * rs-ini-as13303, hosted by University of Niš in Niš, Serbia * at-klu-as42473, by Anexia Internetdienstleistungs Gmbh in Klagenfurt, Austria * nz-lyj-as17746, by NZ Registry Services in Aukland, New Zealand * us-sjc-as22300, hosted by Wikia in San Jose (USA) * de-muc-as8767, by M-net Telekommunikations GmbH in Munich, Germany * es-leg-as766, by University Carlos III of Madrid, Leganes, Spain. 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 individuals and 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, Vesna Manojlovic Measurements Community Building RIPE NCC

feature request: have stat report on transitted prefixes
by Job Snijders 14 May '15

14 May '15

Hi MAT, I'd really like the stat team to implement a tool that tells me what prefixes are originated AND transitted by a given ASN. The use-case is that I (before setting up BGP sessions) can make an automated assessment what amount of prefixes the network will announce, which prefixes they are likely to announce and if that matches up with the prefix-filter I would apply on that bgp session. A second use case is that when I want to connect a peer or customer to which I have never been connected before, I have no idea what they will announce to me. Should I want to make predictions for traffic engineering purposes, it would be beneficial if I could fetch a list of prefixes this peer is likely to announce to other peers from the stat system. A sliding window of say 30 days would be perfect, for my purposes I do not need the tool to offer data going back to the beginning of time. Do others agree that the above would be a useful feature? Kind regards, Job

Dear all, In March 2015, a diverse group of contributors got together to come up with creative ways to visualise the health of the Internet using RIPE Atlas open measurements data. It was the first RIPE Atlas hackathon. Impressive results were hacked together by programmers, designers and operators during an intensive weekend of work and fun in Amsterdam. In this article we celebrate hackathon achievements, document and promote hackathon results, create a memento for participants and report in detail for the benefit of the rest of the community: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-atlas-hackathon-results Numbers * We received more than 70 applications for participation * Present: 24 participants & one no-show, 6 jury members and 11 support staff (coincidentally: 42!) * 6 out of 25 participants were female (24%) * 3 jury members were female (50%!) * Ten final projects were presented * Four projects were awarded prizes * 14 free & open source software projects were published on GitHub * 20 litres of tea were consumed * 10 large pizzas were eaten for lunch on Saturday * Two kilograms of chocolate Easter Eggs were munched up * 12 Club-Mate bottles were emptied Links: - All code: RIPE Atlas community pages on GitHub: https://github.com/RIPE-Atlas-Community/ripe-atlas-community-contrib/blob/m… - Videos: on RIPE NCC YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/RIPENCC/videos?shelf_id=0&view=0&sort=dd - Hackathon presentations and code: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-atlas-hackathon-presentations More links & photos in the article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-atlas-hackathon-results Regards, Vesna

MAT WG Chair selection process
by Christian Kaufmann 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Dear MAT WG, as you might have seen on other RIPE WG mailinglists or experienced at the last RIPE meeting in London, all the WG's are coming up with a documented and transparent Chair selection process. In the past - the Chair which wanted to leave organised himself a replacement which was then accepted via humming or show of hands during the WG Session. This was not allowing people which where interested in becoming a chair but did not know about the upcoming change to run for this position. Also did WG Chairs tend to stay for a long time so there was not much chance for other people to become a Chair. The new process should solve this problems and also confirm every so often that the WG still want to have the existing chair as chair. My proposal for the MAT WG is the following, which is basically identically to what others like the DBWG are doing. 1. A call for interested parties is made on the WG mailing list at three yearly intervals, or as needed 2. Interested parties have 2 weeks to make their interest known via the mailing list 3. The MAT-WG chairs issue a call for discussion as per normal. WG members express their approval or otherwise of the presented candidates. 4. After two weeks the chairs declare consensus as they would do for a policy proposal This process would be used to reconfirm the existing chairs as well. Please let me know if this proposal suits our WG or not in the next 4 weeks. After we agreed on a process I will issue the first call for the vacant CoChair position. Best regards, Christian Kaufmann MAT WG (Co)-Chair
