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

Hello Team, Is there any way to fetch all probes data at once using "ripe.atlat.coustea" python API instead downloading dump provided by Ripe team ? Thank you ! Regards, Niraj

retrieve past measurements
by Fabiano D'Agostino 29 Jun '20

29 Jun '20

Good evening, I am trying to retrieve streaming data as described in the guide here: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/result-streaming/ I was able to retrieve the measurement results using stream_type="result", but when I try to retrieve past measurements with the startTime flag it is not working. How can I solve? Thanks in advance, Fabiano

New on RIPE Labs: Measuring IP Connectivity with RIPE Atlas
by Mirjam Kuehne 26 Jun '20

26 Jun '20

Dear colleagues, During a hackathon Branimir Petricevi and his colleagues at Leaseweb wanted to measure network performance that most accurately simulates a customer's experience with a network. They used RIPE Atlas to do that. Find out more in this new RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/branimir_petricevic/measuring-ip-connectivity… Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

Unauthorised probe transfers
by Paul Eagles 24 Jun '20

24 Jun '20

Hello, I've just had 2 emails saying that 2 of my software probes (numbers 1000305 & 1000137) have been transferred to LeaseWeb NOC. Both these probes (and another) live on LeaseWeb VPSs (one in NL, one in USA) but I haven't started or authorised a transfer. Before I go and shout at then, how could this have happened? Checking in 'My Atlas' it does indeed no longer show these as being my problems. Why would the good people at RIPE allow transfer of 2 of my probes without my approval? Yours, Paul.

dead v1 probe
by Gert Doering 22 Jun '20

22 Jun '20

Hi, have there been software updates for v1 probes recently? I've heard about a few v1 probes that have died "just last week" - mine among them (#461), fell off the net with "Firewall Problems Suspected", but it's no longer even ARPing properly (= either it totally lost its config and wants DHCP now, which there isn't in this network, or it just died)... So knowing whether this is a more widespread issue and possible reasons would help me to decide how much effort to invest in debugging this. gert -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?

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
