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

Is there a max running measurement number for a user
by Yihao Jia 30 Aug '18

30 Aug '18

Dear all, Is there a max running measurement number for a user? I try to launch about 800 measurements, but only about 150 of them succeed and keep running, while another 650 fail with the description "overlimited denied" one of the fail measurement is: https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/15302198/ Do you know what's the reason I failed? (btw, I am wondering how to check the reason why a measurement is failed by the measurement id?) Many thanks, Yihao

The three generations of the Atlas probes : technical details
by BELLAFKIH hayat 30 Aug '18

30 Aug '18

Hi, I hope validate some details about the Atlas probes. I try to get these details by consulting the resources: 1. https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/probe-v1/ 2. https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/probe-v2/ 3. https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/probe-v3/ But no technical details given. By reading some presentations, I create the table bellow. Now, I hope if you can validate these details and complete the information about the CPU. It will be good if you can add the technical details for each generation of the probes. Thanks in advance. *Hayat BELLAFKIH*

Dear all, I am Yihao, a Ph.D. student at Tsinghua University. Right now I plan to start an experiment with the RIPE atlas, but I don't have enough credits to fulfill the whole process. I am writing this letter to inquire if anyone can share some credits with me. (like 1 Million) Appreciate! (My RIPE atlas account: yhjia.03(a)gmail.com) Many thanks, Yihao Tsinghua University

Getting More Traffic for Probe
by Eren Türkay 26 Aug '18

26 Aug '18

Hello, I am running a probe [0] at my home and I have 240Mbit connection from my provider. When I look at the graphs, this probe is basically sitting idle doing nothing! I can spare 20Mbit/s easily for measurements to keep the usage. However, I do not know how to achieve that. Is it possible to attract more traffic to my probe? I'm sure there is some algorithm involved to distribute the work so if you can please get me some more work, I'd be pleased [obviously more credits to spare :)] [0] https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/31252/ Regards, -- . 73!

Probe for mobile network
by Evgeniy Sudyr 25 Aug '18

25 Aug '18

We have developed mobile application and we are interesting for making measurements from our customer''s networks using ripe atlas probes. I found no probes from interesting ASN, that's why I'm looking for a way to host own probes (we do have already) and connect it to interesting MNO networks using some USB sticks or even mobile phones (to use as 3G / LTE modem). Obviously we want to make less points of failure in between RIPE probe and mobile modem. Any luck to get USB sticks working with RIPE probe without some router in between? -- With regards, Eugene Sudyr

Hello, We're looking for a contact in the RIPE Atlas context from AS8560 (oneandone.net). There's a (probably runaway) script hammering our gates. Thank you, Robert Kisteleki for the RIPE Atlas team

Failled to get traceroute results from the id 5151
by BELLAFKIH hayat 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

Hi all, I am trying to get traceroute results for the measurements id 5151 ( https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/5151/) by using python module : Python client for RIPE ATLAS API, for period october 2016. For many days ( eg : 19, 20) in this period, the operation is failled. I got Killed ! I found that the reason of having Killed when running a python script is related to the ressources limits. Any helps? *Hayat BELLAFKIH*

Probe limit per measurement
by Schomp, Kyle 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

Hi all, I'm trying to use Ripe Atlas for monitoring a production system. I've hit the 1k maximum probes per measurement limit, however. I realize I could just split up the task among multiple measurements to stay under the 1k probes max, but that seems sort of hack-ish and possibly less efficient for the platform. Is it possible to get the limits increased? Thanks! -kyle
