New on RIPE Labs: RIPE Atlas Probes: Delays in Distribution
by Mirjam Kuehne 08 Feb '19

08 Feb '19

Dear colleagues, The good news: RIPE Atlas is growing both in terms of geographical diversity and ASN coverage. What's more, RIPE Atlas is evolving, with a new generation of probe hardware having already passed the test phase and a pilot programme underway to assess the viability of VM anchors. The not so good news: With RIPE Atlas so much in demand, and with our current provider having ceased manufacturing the probe hardware, we've had to dramatically reduce the number of probes we're distributing. Please find more details on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/alun_davies/ripe-atlas-probes-delays-in-distr… Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

Probe seems DoA
by Benoit Lelievre 03 Jul '18

03 Jul '18

Yesterday I received two v3 probes. While the first one took a while to update and connect the second one is showing a different behaviour. When I plug it in the reset light flashes for about 10 second but then the second LED lights up solid and it seems like the probe is frozen. It doesn't even request an IP address from my DHCP server. The FAQ doesn't list what only having LEDs 1 and 2 on solid means and I'm concerned that this probe is bricked. Any advice on what I should do with this probe?

Hi folks, We have some problems with the RIPE Atlas back-end systems. I don't yet know the cause, or when things will be fixed, but this is just to let you know that we're working on it. Regards, Anand Buddhdev RIPE NCC

Re: [atlas] again: Probe offline, network appears okay

Hi, just to confirm, I seem to be having the same problem. My probe was shown as disconnected while the LEDs on the device indicated otherwise. After performing a power cycle it's not reconnecting anymore. Regards, Steffen Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum

Hi. I've had the same problems from time to time. Mostly after a power loss or power disconnect. In the end I had to replace the drive to end this frequent behaviour.

again: Probe offline, network appears okay
by Andre Heinrichs 29 Jun '18

Ho everyone, I'm again seeing the problem that Atlas doesn't see my probe as connected although my network shows no problems. I just tried restarting the probe and now the probe sees itself unable to connect. Is there a known problem somewhere, anyone else seeing this behavior or is it something weird on my end? TIA, Andre

More probes with incorrect location
by Ponikierski, Grzegorz 29 Jun '18

Hi! I was making some measurements for Comcast and found 3 probes with incorrect location. Can we fix it? ;) Probe #25030 - probe description and traceroute from this probe suggests California but Atlas map shows Florida. I think it should be California. Traceroute from 25030 towards something in California. ----------------- 1 - 192.168.2.1 NA None NA 0.454ms 2 - 96.120.88.149 7922 None COMCAST-7922 - Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, US 9.291ms 3 - 68.87.196.117 7922 be-20022-rur02.santaclara.ca.sfba.comcast.net COMCAST-7922 - Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, US 8.880ms [...] Probe #32240 - probe description suggests Caribean, map the same but traceroute suggest something in North-East of US. I think that traceroute is right. Traceroute from 32240 towards something in Ashburn. ----------------- 1 - 192.168.109.1 NA None NA 0.446ms 2 - 10.0.0.1 NA None NA 1.670ms 3 - 96.120.64.153 7922 None COMCAST-7922 - Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, US 9.171ms 4 - 96.108.56.17 7922 None COMCAST-7922 - Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, US 9.776ms 5 - 68.85.106.69 7922 be-50-ar01.needham.ma.boston.comcast.net COMCAST-7922 - Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, US 10.496ms 6 - 68.86.90.173 7922 be-1003-pe02.onesummer.ma.ibone.comcast.net COMCAST-7922 - Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, US 9.908ms [...] Probe #22575 - probe description and map suggests UK but traceroute clearly shows it's in Seattle. I think that traceroute is right. Traceroute from 22575 towards something in Seattle. ----------------- 1 - 10.20.30.1 NA None NA 0.519ms 2 - 96.120.100.81 7922 None COMCAST-7922 - Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, US 11.700ms 3 - 68.87.206.221 7922 po-118-rur201.bellevue.wa.seattle.comcast.net COMCAST-7922 - Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, US 9.210ms [...] Regards, Grzegorz

Oh, nice. After several reboots and switching to a different USB power device it finally works again!? :-) Don't know what's different, but at least here in my company's network it is running well. -Andi Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum

Same here with probe 31884. Interestingly I have a Fritzbox at home as well. I discovered no problems with the network at home, the services worked as expected and as a test I changed the DNS from the provider to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Which did not helped. As a last step, I transferred the probe temporarily to the company network and have the same issue. Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum
