Requesting Credits for Research
by Alex Gamero-Garrido 29 Jul '23

29 Jul '23

Hi folks, My name is Alexander Gamero-Garrido and I'm a 5th year PhD student at CAIDA, UC San Diego. We're soon launching a large traceroute campaign for research and could use your generous donation of credits. We'll need about 150 million credits, but any partial amount that gets us closer to that goal is welcome and greatly appreciated. My account is agamerog at eng.ucsd.edu Thank you, Alex -- *Alex Gamero-Garrido* *PhD Student, Computer Science* Web: cseweb.ucsd.edu/~agamerog Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) San Diego Supercomputer Center UC San Diego Pronouns: He/Him/His <https://inboxwhenready.org/?utm_campaign=signature&utm_medium=email&utm_sou…> I'm using Inbox When Ready <https://inboxwhenready.org/?utm_campaign=signature&utm_medium=email&utm_sou…> to protect my focus.

Probe DHCPv6 support
by Aleksi Pirttimaa 19 May '23

19 May '23

Hi! I recently received my v4 probe and I'm very happy with it. But unfortunately it doesn't support DHCPv6. I present a practical reason for implementing a DHCPv6 client on the probe. You see, my ISP doesn't send router advertisements with the prefix for stateless autoconfiguration set, and instead DHCPv6 must be used. I believe their decision could have something to do with the fact that the regulating body here requires ISP's to prevent IP address spoofing in consumer plans. And to meet that requirement my ISP may be using a feature similar to Cisco's IP source guard, where switch ports and/or mac addresses are passively associated to leased ip's or prefixes, breaking SLAAC. Unfortunately they hate letting consumers talk with their engineers so it's difficult to speculate this further. For now, I've put a stateful firewall appliance in front of the probe which provides SLAAC, it works just fine. Do you think a DHCPv6 client should be implemented?

Meta-information dumps for built-in measurements?
by Vasileios Giotsas 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Is there any repository like https://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/atlas/measurements/ that contains meta-information about built-in RIPE Atlas measurements (the above repository contains meta-information only for public measurements)? I couldn't find anything similar in the new FTP repository at https://data-store.ripe.net/datasets/atlas-daily-dumps/ I guess using the API is an alternative but it would be more convenient to have such dumps Thanks, Vasileios

RIPE Atlas Software Probes
by Philip Homburg 22 Jun '20

22 Jun '20

Dear colleagues, We are glad to announce that, after several months of development and testing, we are now accepting applications for RIPE Atlas software probes. With several different installation options to choose from, software probes provide future hosts a whole new way to get involved with RIPE Atlas. For more details, see our new article on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/alun_davies/ripe-atlas-software-probes Kind regards, Philip

running a probe via LTE access
by Thomas Schäfer 21 May '20

21 May '20

Hi, Has anybody experience with running a probe via LTE? I see only a little amount if I use the tags 4g or LTE, together with IPv6 as requirement, just less than 10. What is the monthly data volume you have? Is it a big problem if I run in a speed limit of 32kbit/s? Regards, Thomas

Setting the DNS AD bit
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 15 Apr '20

It seems there is currently no way to set the AD bit in DNS queries? (Through the API, we can only control RD, CD and DO bits.)

Online hackathon: Internet Health Measurements & COVID-19
by Vesna Manojlovic 08 Apr '20

08 Apr '20

Dear all, just like many other organisations, RIPE NCC is having a COVID-19 focused hackathon with very broad goal: measuring Internet health, while focusing on RIPE Atlas, RIS & OONI data. In the third week of our online event, we have a very open, very lose collective: no registration, no prizes, no deadlines... Our results are currently mostly data-visualizations & analysis: https://labs.ripe.net/covid19 To join: * read about active projects on EtherPad, and contribute: https://pad.riseup.net/p/ripe-ncc-corona-hackathon-keep * join Jitsi for video conferencing: https://jitsi.hamburg.freifunk.net/WiseGeeseUniteCarefully * chat here: slack.ooni.org / #oon-dev (also bridged to IRC) Incremental reports are added to this article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/hackathons-in-the-time-of-corona Our next call will be on Tuesday 14. April at 11:30 AM CEST (on Jitsi) If you'd like to join one of the many other hackathons, look here: https://wiki.techinc.nl/User:Becha/COVID-19#Hackathons Stay safe, stay @ home, stay healthy... Kind regards, Vesna
