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

Feature request DNS DoH measurement
by Yang Yu 25 May '20

25 May '20

Hi, As DoH is getting more adoption, it would be interesting to have DoH query support on Atlas. With support added as an additional protocol for DNS measurement (currently TCP/UDP), most measurement creation/result parsing settings can be reused. Yang

anchor on a /32 network with on-link routing ?
by Matthieu Herrb 24 May '20

24 May '20

Hi, here at Tetaneutral.net we purchased an anchor with the idea to host it in our network. For IPv4 We are using /32 addresses everywhere, and do the routing by setting the 'on-link' flag on the default route. This configuration doesn't seem to be possible through the management interface. It complains that the gateway is not no the same network as the host and provides no way (as far as I can tell) to setup the 'on-link' flag. Apart from inserting another router in front of our anchor to let it use a narrower prefix, is there a way to set it up ? Or can this be considered for the future evolutions of the anchor software ? Thanks in advance. -- Matthieu Herrb

Dear RIPE Atlas users, As I have been using around 300M credits over the past few months and am close to running out, I would like to ask if somebody has some spare credits to transfer into my account: nils.rodday(a)unibw.de I am a PhD-student at the Bundeswehr University Munich & University of Twente. If you have credits to share, I would appreciate it. Thanks. :) Kind regards, Nils

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

One of my hosted probes don't accept measurements
by Evgeniy S. 07 May '20

07 May '20

Dear RIPE guys, one of probes hosted by us https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/35439/ shows as connected and good to go, but when I create any measurements with this ID I see "1 Requested / None yet Actually Participating" Please advice what's wrong with it and how to troubleshoot? -- With regards, Eugene Sudyr
