Hey all, This is the standard post-demo thread for comments on RIPEstat. Here are mine to kick things off: -- As I said on the call, it's not really clear right now what the purpose is of the "Query" link. I guess it could help me understand, but it would be extra useful to be able to tweak and re-query. Maybe this could show a text box with a "Re-query" button? -- It seems like visibility graph could be a good way to use ATLAS data? Of course, the ATLAS probes would have to start pinging a little more broadly. -- I like the path length graph a lot. It's kind of useful to have the graph fill in when you mouse over, but it might be nicer if you could show the data value when you mouse over a point, and if the fill could be translucent so that you could still see the other lines. Thanks, --Richard

Amount of unsolicited traffic from Libya
by Mirjam Kuehne 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Dear colleagues, Amidst the recent political unrest in the Middle East, researchers have observed significant changes in Internet traffic and connectivity. In this article Emile Aben from the RIPE NCC in collaboration with CAIDA, tapped into a previously unused source of data: unsolicited Internet traffic arriving from Libya. Read this interesting analysis on RIPE Labs: http://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/unsolicited-internet-traffic-from-li… Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

New on RIPE Labs: 6to4 - Why is it so Bad?
by Mirjam Kuehne 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

[apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, In an earlier article on RIPE Labs, we showed that a large percentage of 6to4 connections fail. In this new article by Emile Aben, we look at why these connections fail and what can be done about this: http://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/6to4-why-is-it-so-bad Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Read on RIPE Labs: Network Complexity and How to Deal with it
by Mirjam Kuehne 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

[apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, Prompted by a panel discussion at the RIPE 61 Meeting, this article by Michael Behringer describes the most significant implications of network complexity and suggests ways to deal with it: http://labs.ripe.net/Members/mbehring/network-complexity-and-how-to-deal-wi… This is a topic that requires more work and a lot of input from network operators. We hope you will help to advance this subject. Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Dear colleagues, Following-up from his presentation at RIPE 61 in Rome, Claudio Squarcella published an article on RIPE Labs: http://labs.ripe.net/Members/csquarce/caidagram-visualization-tool It describes Caidragam, a new tool to visualise geographically annotated Internet measurements, for instance topology, address allocation, DNS and economical data. You can also find a link to the actual tool and a live demo at the end of the article. Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

Comments on RIPEstat
by Richard L. Barnes 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Just wanted to start a thread on this list where people could contribute thoughts about RIPEstat. To get things started, here are a few things that occurred to me during the call this morning: -- Time zooming is awesome. I haven't yet looked to see if this zooms the linked raw data as well; if it doesn't it should. -- YAML might not be everyone's preferred format for data. It might be nice for the "raw data" link to go to a page that displays the data (e.g., as a table) with links at the top: "Download as: YAML, CSV, JSON, XML, ..." -- The AJAX loading is good, but there's no "busy indicator" that tells me that the request is outstanding, vs. the blocks simply not loading. -- The idea of country indexes (http://stat.ripe.net/country/dk) seems like it could be handy and not too difficult to implement. It would probably be accurate enough to get the geolocation from the delegation files and call up information for those resources. -- +1 on the addition of a methodology link. Again, would be useful, especially for first-time or occasional users, and not too hard to implement (just some static text). Stylistically speaking, it's probably a small enough bit of text that it could be done as an AJAX popup/overlay. Thanks for keeping the community involved in this project, --Richard
