"Invalid target" error for RFC 1918 space
by Yang Yu 18 Sep '16

18 Sep '16

Hi, I got "Invalid target" error when I tried to create a measurement to see how far some RFC 1918 prefixes got propagated (carrier not properly filtering customer announcement). What is considered invalid for each measurement type? Thanks. Yang

All my measurements now show Forbidden status. Is there a > way to increase the limit? yes, ask the team at atlas(a)ripe.net (cc-ed). the folks there can extend limits (not unlimited of course, these limits are there for a reason :) ), but would need some info from you: - what is the experiment you'd like to perform - what would you want the new limit to be (and why what you want to do can't be done with the current limits and/or existing measurements) - when does your experiment end (ie. when can we put the limits back to the default) - promise us that you'll acknowledge RIPE Atlas in a paper - send us a link/copy of the paper once it's published (i hope i'm not forgetting things :) ) cheers, emile

API probe search
by Hank Nussbacher 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

When searching for specific ASN probes via: https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/ and entering a search like "ASxxxx", why does the API ignore the letters AS and respond with probes that have an id of yxxxx or xxxxy or ASN yxxxy? Shouldn't it be if I specify a specific string of ASxxx the response should be *only *those probes in ASxxx or at the worst also ASxxxy? Thanks, Hank

Data delays on RIPE Atlas
by Romeo Zwart 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

Dear colleagues, We are performing some maintenance work on the backend clusters supporting RIPE Atlas. Unexpectedly, this is having an impact on the insertion speed of new data. This means that new data insertion is behind for a few hours. The maintenance work is expected to complete before the end of the day, at which point the backlog of data will be cleared up very quickly. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards, Romeo

Changes in LatencyMon
by Marat Khalili 05 Sep '16

05 Sep '16

Dear list, LatencyMon <https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/tools-latencymon/> changed for me recently with only minimum latency value shown now instead of all three. I wonder if other people see this and what are the reasons behind the change? (Cannot say yet if changes are for better or worse, but I can find no announcement and so suspect that this can be unintentional.) -- With Best Regards, Marat Khalili
