Telus (CA) has joined RIPE Atlas anchors
by Lia Hestina 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

Dear RIPE Atlas users, We're happy to announce that another RIPE Atlas anchor has joined the network and is now available as a target for probe hosts conducting their own user-defined measurements. The new anchor is called ca-van-as852 and it is hosted by TELUS in Vancouver, Canada. Anchoring measurements (ping, ping6, traceroute and traceroute6) are scheduled towards this anchor from all the other anchors as well as several hundred probes, providing a continual overview of regional reachability. Results of these measurements are available as raw data in JSON format, and visualised on the map and "seismograph" with many configurable features. You can access the anchoring measurements for all anchors at: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/list/ <https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/list/> Learn more about RIPE Atlas anchors at: https://atlas.ripe.net/about/anchors/ <https://atlas.ripe.net/about/anchors/> Thank you for participating in RIPE Atlas! Kind Regards, RIPE Atlas Team atlas(a)ripe.net <mailto:atlas@ripe.net>

X.509 certificate monitoring
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

I do not find a lot of examples of X.509 certificate retrieving and analysis? I just committed <https://github.com/RIPE-Atlas-Community/ripe-atlas-community-contrib/blob/m…> which is useful for me when watching certificate expiration for anycasted sites (where the cert retrieved depends on the probe). Any other examples? And by the way, do not hesitate to submit your scripts to <https://github.com/RIPE-Atlas-Community/ripe-atlas-community-contrib> (fork and pull request, or open an issue with the attached script).

Re: [atlas] Question about "location setting" of RIPE Atlas
by Tomáš Hetmer 23 Aug '15

23 Aug '15

Hi, I'd use the simplest logical interpretation and enter the actual physical location no matter if the actual interconnect is right there, 900 km away or transmitted from a satellite. Also, if you placed it to that location 900km away you wouldn't skew the results for your own town, but anyone measuring the latency there would see a +20ms difference from reality, so that doesn't improve anything. Many networks are large and complex, such as an ADSL for a whole country being connected to the net via a local MPLS network via a central point at one main location - should you use that one for all the probes in the country? Of course not, you enter wherever the endpoint is. If you'd like however, you can mention your specific configuration in the probe details. That's my personal view on this, others might differ.

Afilias, Los Angeles, CA, United States has joined RIPE Atlas anchors
by Eamonn Lane 21 Aug '15

21 Aug '15

Dear RIPE Atlas users, We're happy to announce that another RIPE Atlas anchor has joined the network and is now available as a target for probe hosts conducting their own user-defined measurements. The new anchor is called us-lax-as63403 and is hosted by Los Angeles, CA, United States. Anchoring measurements (ping, ping6, traceroute and traceroute6) are scheduled towards this anchor from all the other anchors as well as several hundred probes, providing a continual overview of regional reachability. Results of these measurements are available as raw data in JSON format, and visualised on the map and "seismograph" with many configurable features. You can access the anchoring measurements for all anchors at: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/list/ Learn more about RIPE Atlas anchors at: https://atlas.ripe.net/about/anchors/ Thank you for participating in RIPE Atlas!

Can someone please enlighten me what the possible use cases are? query: wWw.FacebOOK.COm IN A query: wWW.Wikia.COM IN A query: WwW.wIkIA.cOM IN A query: POOl.NTP.ORg query: Www.wikiA.CoM IN A query: wWW.FacebOoK.COM IN A query: wWw.faCeBOoK.cOM IN A Yang

Excluding probes by user defined tag not working
by Yang Yu 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

Hello, When I use New Set - wizard to select probes, the exclusion by tag does not work with user tags. Even though the user tag was recognized (I chose it from the drop down menu), the particular probe was still selected. For example, I excluded user tag SDFJLKFWEO from measurement 2312281, but probe 10240 was still selected. Thanks. Yang

Promote the use of IRC
by Daniel Baeza (Red y Sistemas TVT) 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

Hi all, Yesterday, I've started a discussion in the member list about promoting the use of IRC instead of Mail List for some kind of discussions, chit chat, etc. Not much members answered, but all who did said yes. The goal is to have, at least, one channel per mail list, but not limited to only that. For this list, an #atlas channel will be created and administrated by the WG Chairs. We want to use the actual RIPE IRC Server plus Network Services and some more irc servers linked to the Ripe one. What do you think? Regards, --Daniel
