Dear colleagues,
The DNS Monitoring Service (DNSMON) has been providing a comprehensive,
objective and up-to-date overview of the quality of various global and
regional DNS operators' services since 2003.
We are in the process of integrating DNSMON within RIPE Atlas and the
beta version of the new DNSMON is now publicly available:
https://atlas.ripe.net/dnsmon
We have also published a RIPE Labs article detailing what’s changed
in the new DNSMON:
https://labs.ripe.net/Members/fatemah_mafi/an-updated-dns-monitoring-service
We invite you all to try the new service and provide your feedback.
We’re confident that the new DNSMON will continue to meet your needs and
hope that you'll be happy with the new features.
Please send your comments and questions to the DNS Working Group Mailing
List at dns-wg(a)ripe.net.
Kind regards,
Vesna Manojlovic

Dear colleagues,
The IPv6 Analyser is a toolset that offers our members a visual insight
into all the allocations, aggregations and assignments they have made.
This toolset seamlessly integrates with the RIPE Database, allowing you
to create new objects with an easy-to-use wizard.
It was announced before the RIPE 68 meeting, and we're now seeing LIRs
starting to use it. Please find some more details in this RIPE Labs article:
https://labs.ripe.net/Members/AlexBand/the-ipv6-analyser
Please let us know if you have any comments or questions.
Kind regards,

Dear colleagues,
The RIPE NCC’s Test Traffic Measurements (TTM) Service will be
decommissioned at the end of June 2014.
Most of the functionality offered by TTM is available as part of RIPE
Atlas and we encourage you to take advantage of this service:
https://atlas.ripe.net
Handover of Responsibility of TTM Machines
We will contact the individual TTM hosts during June to arrange the
handover of responsibility for the remaining TTM systems. Many hosts
asked us about the possibilities to keep the old hardware around as a
stand-alone NTP server. We have a RIPE Labs article detailing the
options to transition your TTM system to a dedicated NTP server. The
article is available here:
https://labs.ripe.net/Members/colin_petrie/how-to-convert-your-ttm-box-to-a…
Availability of TTM Data
- No new data will be collected via TTM once decommissioned
- Current interface for TTM data visualisations will be available
until at least the end of 2014
- Raw data from TTM measurements will be downloadable indefinitely
Background
For more information about the end of TTM, please read this RIPE Labs
article by Kaveh Ranjbar posted last year:
https://labs.ripe.net/Members/kranjbar/future-of-ripe-ncc-technical-services
We delayed the decommissioning date mentioned in the article by six
months to provide a smooth transition for the DNSMON service from TTM to
RIPE Atlas. We also wanted to allow TTM users adequate time to start
using RIPE Atlas or other tools.
We invite your feedback regarding the above planning. Please send your
comments directly to me (<romeo.zwart(a)ripe.net>) or to the MAT Working
Group mailing list (<mat-wg(a)ripe.net>).
Regards,
Romeo Zwart
RIPE NCC
