New on RIPE Labs: Enabling Data Compression in RIPE Atlas
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-r... Regards, Vesna Manojlovic
Dear Vesna, This is again me, Andrei Sukhov from Samara State Aerospace University, Russia. I am pleased to inform you that our article "Generating a Function for Network Delay" has bee accepted for publication in the Journal of High Speed Network. This article is based on data from RIPE Test Box. I attach to the letter manuscript, I hope that the article will appear in the December issue of the journal. But that's not all the news. After the withdrawal of RIPE Test Box support, we have developed a NetMobBox probe. It is much more compact, synchronized in time from the GPS/Glonass system, the software part is a owping tool written by us. If so, I could send the article describing the first results of NetMonBox measurements. Our probe can measure all IP performance metrics including a one-way delay with microsecond precision and available bandwidth. The cost of this device is less than 100 euros. I think it is easy to install the RIPE Atlas software on NetMonBox and try out as an anchor. We would like to test t such a system. if it's necessary, we can send blank articles describing our NetMonBox probe. Sincerely yours, Andrei Sukhov
