3rd generation probe doesn't appear as online
by Thiago Ayub 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

Hi, I receive a week ago our first probe but I'm unable to make it appear as online at the website. I can see it requests DHCP, it gets an IP address (NATed), it does some measurements (like HTTP and NTP) successufly but at atlas.ripe.net it is listed as 'Never online'. It rebooted around 3 times in the last week and each time was kept as least 24h in a row with no power down or cable disconnect. The MAC ADDRESS at the website matches with the MAC ADDRESS labeled in the probe. How should I proceed to get this fixed? Best regards, Thiago Ayub

Permanent private measurement
by Lorenzo Colitti 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

Hi Atlas folks, I'd like to use my probe to monitor the status of my home Internet connection by continuously pinging my ISP's network (which is not the first or second hop in traceroute, but something like the sixth) and perhaps www.google.com. Is there a way to do this easily using the existing UI and tools? I couldn't find any existing measurements for this. I can look at the built-in v4 and v6 measurements for K-root, which is normally very close to me, but that's not 100% representative of the status of my Internet connection because it also measures the peering exchange link between my ISP and K-root. Cheers, Lorenzo

probe probed
by Gary Gapinski 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

Saw my first IPv6 port scan recently, targeting my domestic Atlas probe. Originated from Shodan, first seen 2015-09-30T2017Z, and again ~24 hours later. At the moment, the probe is behind a stateful firewall (which dropped the traffic). Does it make any difference if it were moved to be completely exposed? (I've often wondered whether this should be the case to ensure proper function.) It is behind (filtered) NAT on the IPv4 side. Regards, Gary

RIPE Atlas probe archive not currently working
by Chris Amin 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

Dear RIPE Atlas users, We are aware that the archive of RIPE Atlas probe metadata has not been available since code changes on Wednesday afternoon. This affects both the archive API at /api/v1/probe-archive/ and recent days in the FTP archive at http://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/atlas/probes/. If you only require old archives (Tuesday 29th September and older), you can fetch them from the FTP site as usual. We are working on restoring this functionality as quickly as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that this may have caused. Kind regards, Chris Amin RIPE NCC

Dear colleagues, Dyn Research published an article on K-root recently. Here we would like to augment the picture with data from RIPE Atlas in order to provide a more complete picture of the effect of the K-root node in Iran. Please find the results on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/iran-and-k-root-the-rest-of-the-sto… Kind regards, Vesna
