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@ripe.net>) or to the MAT Working Group mailing list (<mat-wg@ripe.net>). Regards, Romeo Zwart RIPE NCC
