j.root-servers.net ICMP?
by Marco Davids 03 Nov '11

Hi, Can anyone elaborate on why my Atlas probe is still trying to ping j.root-servers.net, while this seems futile since a few weeks?

follow-up on private discussion regarding management of access to probe measurement data
by Wilfried Woeber, UniVie/ACOnet 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Hi Vesna, Team, here is my reminder regarding the suggested "better" granularity to manage the access to measurement data per probe. As I see it right now (please feel free to correct me!): - right now there is an "individual" guardianship per probe(s), this guardianship includes configuration access. - regarding access to the measurement data, the guardian only has two option to manage the access privileges - private and public, or simply put: white or black. Now, given that different persons are managing different probes, if I want to grant access for them, or apply for access to the data of probes under their control, the only way to accommodate this is to declare the probe(s) involved "public". That is not necessarily what we want. Thus I am asking for a sort of "intermediate" or "group" access category. I can see a couple of ways to help with this, for example by providing a way to add other user identities to be authorized for (non-config, i.e. read-only) access. An alternate approach could be to allow creation of Groups, into which some probes could be put and which user identities could be added to for access to the probes in the group. Of course any other approach would be equally fine with me, I just tried to come up with a least one idea instead of only asking for added functionality :-) Btw, my feeling is that such a facility would be even more useful in support for the upcoming UDM stuff! Thanks for reading as far, Wilfried.

3d downtime reported - why?
by Daniel AJ Sokolov (lists) 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Hello, I have noticed that my probe data on the atlas.ripe.net-website reports at downtime of over 3 days: 2011-10-25 04:17:20 UTC to 2011-10-28 08:04:53 UTC. In fact, my connection was not down - maybe a few minutes (that seems to happen regularly), but everythin longer we would have noticed. We use this internet connection most of the day. My probe ID is not unter 500 but over 1000. Is this an error in the database, a problem with the reporting system or any other known bug? Did anyone else experience something like this? Or is there some issue I can resolve locally? Thank you Daniel AJ -- My twitter feed: @newstik http://twitter.com/newstik

Probes, static network configuration and upcoming firmware
by Robert Kisteleki 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Dear Atlas hosts, We're about to release a new firmware version that supports more built-in measurements as well as prepares the probes for the User Defined Measurements feature. We have recently discovered that there's a compatibility issue with the upcoming firmware and (non-DHCP) static network configuration. In order to avoid problems that would come up in this case, we have temporarily disabled the static network configuration panel. We are in the process of releasing a corrected firmware, and enable static configuration for this version automatically. For the probes that already have static configuration up and running: there's nothing you need to do, we'll make sure that during the upgrade these probes keep their static network configuration. We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause. Regards, Robert

On 28-30 November 2011 the ENOG 2/RIPE NCC Regional Meeting will take place. Registration is free and I think you'll get all required information about Atlas there. -- Pavel Yegorov

I haven't received the answer, so I duplicate this letter I am interested in project RIPE ATLAS http://meeting.afrinic.net/afrinic-13/images/stories/af13_presentation/AF-1… Sukhov Andrey Mihailovich is the supervisor of my diploma project (his mail: amskh(a)yandex.ru). He has recommended to me to write to you that letter.

The letter from the student Samara State Aerospace University
by Artem Onoprienko 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

Hello, I’m a student of Samara State Aerospace University. My name is Artem Onoprienko. I study at electronis engineering faculty with specialization in network technologies. I'm going to write a thesis project. I would like to be engaged in monitoring mechanisms of the Internet, and both hardware, and software part. In my work I would like to consider the possibility of additional quality criteria according to the IETF RFC 2544, and the work being done in the Samara State Aerospace University ( http://arxiv.org/abs/0907.3710 This work was presented at the conference in Lisbon. In this work, to measure the bandwidth using network testing packages of various sizes) As a first step I would like to see the ability to add these features to the RIPE Test Box. But I found no technical documentation about RIPE’s construction, and it’s electrical components. I would be grateful if you would give a link to documentation about hardware and software construction of the Ripe TestBox. It will be great help for me. With best regards Artem Onoprienko

Atlas infrastructure upgrades
by Robert Kisteleki 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Dear Atlas users, During the course of this week, we'll be busy with a major upgrade to virtually all components of the Atlas infrastructure. This affects the UI, the backend database, and the probe controllers as well. Please don't be alarmed when your probe disconnects, or if you cannot reach the web interface. We apologize the inconvenience this may cause. Regards, Robert
