Atlas F.ROOT ping
by Peter Gervai 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

Hello, Atlas helped me today first to see a hard-to-detect bug: F-root anycast algo works fine for v4 but fails miserably for v6, as instead of AMSterdam it sends all traffic to some remote island in the pacific. ;-) Seems to be the reverse true for M-root: ipv4 sends me off to nowhere land while v6 is great. A-root follows the F-suit. (C-root is not a good avertisement valie for Cogent, with v4 only address and considerable ongoing pkt loss.) Thanks! Peter

Hi, is it possible to register the same probe by two different users? I would like to give my co-worker full access to a probe in our group LAN. Kind regards, Matt -- Universität Duisburg-Essen Verteilte Systeme Bismarckstr. 90 / BC 316 47057 Duisburg

New page: RIPE Atlas Community
by Vesna Manojlovic 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

Good morning :) Since yesterday, we have a new page that shows the activity of the RIPE Atlas users community: https://atlas.ripe.net/atlas/community We are publishing top-ten hosts of the "Always Up" probes, top-ten UDM users: "Big Spenders" -- people who spend most credits, by doing the most measurements, and the flowing list of new arrivals, with flags of their countries. (Now you can see that there was IETF last week -- Bert gave away 55 probes!) Enjoy your additional few minutes of fame, if you name appears on one of these lists :) We are looking forward to your compliments, and to the further wishes on what else would you like to see here... We will be featuring these top-users in our communication, so expect some more attention from us... Ciao, Vesna

Re: [atlas] "down" probe resurrection
by Artur Russu 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hi Philip, Connected it to my home network, directly to my provider, it has now a public IP address assigned by ISP's dhcp. Powered it from an USB power outlet (it has now 5 V/500 mA). Still reboots... :( What do your logs say? I will leave it like this for 24 hours. I guess that if this setup will still fail we'll have to return the probe to RIPE. Where can I find the procedure of returning a probe? Best Regards, Artur Russu PS Engineer TD / MCN / Mobile Packet Core Orange Moldova S. A.

Probe sending DHCP request, not accepting?
by Michael-John Turner 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Hi My probe arrived late last week and I finally hooked it up late yesterday afternoon. All was working fine until around 3:30am today when I received an automated email to say that my probe was down. I restarted it at around 7:00am when I got up but that didn't help - ever since it's been requesting a new IP every 3-5 seconds but not accepting the offered lease. From my dhcpd logs: Nov 6 07:12:02 dreamland dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff via br0 Nov 6 07:12:02 dreamland dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.248 to aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff via br0 Nov 6 07:12:05 dreamland dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff via br0 Nov 6 07:12:05 dreamland dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.248 to aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff via br0 (where aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff is the correct MAC, I've just redacted it). I've allocated the device a static IP based upon its MAC. Help! :) My probe ID is 3508. -mj -- Michael-John Turner mj(a)mjturner.net <> http://mjturner.net/

Question on UDMs

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello! First of all, I'd like to thank RIPE for such an interesting project, allowing to study the availability of various resources online. I have a question. If I'd like to set up a UDM, that will only be designated for my probe only, will it require credits or using my own probe is "free"? Thank you in advance. _____ Best regards, Roman A. aka BasicXP x12ozmouse(a)ya.ru -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJQk7vQAAoJEBjQX5UpOG9YquQP/RptIW1NbaPdOPczWUTYvjxB ZMRNHWO/VX2RWeYMIRWcoUpqVJSV2f7Sy+55hG6kkkcnWvXb+Do9ro4/MsyXocsD y+AXzgt9zgEaQMtJsgr7gjOttRp4vl9Y9RiQ/NfAV/QMZj6YH0QuoqjhpSLDYs6H bA8rmCAx2RGOTlhEvQTBnwI/K6zO8Cp9psLyQ1hzkQeUqlZbOGtD4AGpBuLOcrGR cHyckfN3Lww83oaecBEU1wjgOgUuHzTQzoJKhU7CLr0h0EeBC60Qd9CD75CW7yUD pAZA3JUHhAsYh4Bw5NDihuRhRqDYfo+Ch63JZvdNxznWgRXPgNjm8dm9BqC3rOM2 /aYo4MnglRke7VqCw9vPkw1IW/aXCfx7OoOt4Vp17dKal5iOS/FT2u58qFkzeLRT Mn90I5EdcEbB+Nuv3GsjYBI94JrrSK2KtcoV235mSTAGYyAM665c3fVR+HkOc9Eu s/msjchT3MBlEini6HVqAqdTFDaCro+mOw53lKzCch8VQSJRTrbHz1S7RgRVK9dB 89E1ij3HhUv6Tz9y3fGvWmNwFCWxgkY0qnB8erlFDcTxBtg/ou+a5oU2Yd6Pa14n HaZfXgzSjpasDSTDzxfLzpG/w7qhAluQgo2Q+fViG8yweVWvCDT9DrvbTEuUrPFq TuxIjj0uFFzfPUZrSTrW =GYfh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
