paris traceroute output
by Radim Hrazdil 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Hello all! I'm struggling to understand how is the number of paris variations reflected in the merasurement output. If I run paris-traceroute on my machine, the output of a single hop looks something like this: 6 P(16, 16) HOSTNAME (IP):0,1,2,3,4,9,10 4.534/6.072/15.130/2.957 ms HOSTNAME (IP):5,6,7,8 7.641/10.282/13.119/1.965 ms What I'm reffering to is this part: (IP):0,1,2,3,4,9,10, which says which probe packets 'visited' this particular router. I don't understand, how is this reflected in the measurement output. I have never encountered situaton in which 'from' fields within one hop would differ. This would suggest that no load balancing has been encountered, but that seems unlikely to me. Thanks for any replies, Radim Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum

dnssec validating system tag?
by Tapio Sokura 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Hello, I was looking at the probe system tags at https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/probe-tags/ when dnssec validating resolvers came to mind. Has there been thoughts about making the probes do dnssec resolver statistics gathering? I.e. how many / which probes are configured with dns resolvers that do / don't do dnssec validation? Tapio

TLS error when the certificate is expired?
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

I'm reasonably certain that it has been possible to use 'sslcert' measurements even when the certificate is expired. Today, I try to use 'sslcert' with trigger-happy.eu and it fails: "alert": { "description": 40, "level": 2 }, And no certificate in the JSON output (this is measurement #12166428) 40 is the very general "handshake failure" of TLS. <https://www.iana.org/assignments/tls-parameters/tls-parameters.xhtml#tls-pa…> Was there a change in Atlas recently? The TLS server does reply: % gnutls-cli trigger-happy.eu Processed 167 CA certificate(s). Resolving 'trigger-happy.eu:443'...

18774 is abandoned definitively ?
by Freddy BULOW 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Hello, Is the status abandoned and definitive, or will it return to status online at its reconnection? If the usb key is new so with a FAT32 partition, the probe will do the necessary to restore the usb key? Thanks for your help. Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum

Request to RIPE Atlas probe hosts in Russia
by Roman Mamedov 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Hello, Given the recent censorship events in Russia [1], some start using the Atlas probes to measure the impact of Roskomnadzor's imposed subnet and IP filtering on end users. For that to be as precise as possible, can you please ensure that your Atlas probe is plugged into the same network as your customers, i.e. subject to all the same filtering and blocking that the customers experience. (I guess this might not be the case if you simply plug it in into some switch next to your server infrastructure, which may be not going through the filters.) Thanks!

Re: [atlas] Probe claimed to be offline
by Andre Heinrichs 22 Apr '18

22 Apr '18

Hi again, I'll add another weird experience from just now. When I last looked at the probe website it claimed the probe had been offline for over 1 day. But just half an hour ago when I looked the website said the probe had been online for 1day 6 hours (which is also not right seing how I've rebooted everything here less than 24 hours ago. And to add even more weirdness just as the hour switched I got the mail that my probe had been disconnected for more than 30 minutes. So right now the probe is offline for 13 hours and 41 minutes. So, basically there's something weird going on inside the Atlas system. Hopefully someone can correct whatever is causing it soon. TIA, Andre. Totally not keeping on refreshing the probe website.

Probe claimed to be offline
by Andre Heinrichs 22 Apr '18

22 Apr '18

Hi, my probe #29384 is reported as offline since the last network reconnect last night. According to the probe LEDs all looks okay (nothing is blinking, in the order of the FAQ they are On, off, on, on, on). But the website reports the probe as offline. Just the data plot ("Connection & Traffic") shows that the probe sends something out. I've already tried several reboots, did the USB reinitialization (twice, I tried a different USB storage as well) and I've also rebooted my FritzBox. All to no success. BTW: I've not been seeing SOS requests since I last reinitialized the USB in January when the probe was reported as offline as well. At least the USB-less boot showed up there. Is anyone else seeing this kind of problem? Is it a known problem somewhere? Or is there something else I could still try? TIA, Andre.

No suitable probes error, and inconsistency between results and measurement status
by Vasileios Giotsas 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

Hi all, I have a number of traceroute measurements that end-up with status "No suitable probes". The documentation explains that this error is quite rare, the quote below is from https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/udm/ "No suitable probes: The measurement cannot currently be executed as defined due to a lack of available probes. This may be because you asked to use probes that don't exist (for example, probes in an AS in which there are no probes) or because all of the probes you requested were too busy to take on new jobs. This latter scenario is very rare however." In my case happens in all of my latest measurement request that ask for different probes. It also happens when I use the wizard in the web interface which selects the probes automatically. Even weirder, some of these measurements appear to have been completed when I check the API. For instance, measurement 12244352 has status 6 (No suitable probes), and the web interface doesn't show any results. But the API endpoint shows that it has been executed and returned results: https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/measurements/12244352/ I'd appreciate some pointers on how to resolve this issue. Thanks, Vasileios
