What is 'iwantbcp38compliancetesting' user tag?
by Geert Jan de Groot 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

When revisiting the settings of my probe, I found this 'iwantbcp38compliancetesting' user tag. I know what BCP38 is, but what is the meaning of the tag? Is it a poll? Geert Jan

integrity checks for the Atlas software?
by Wilfried Woeber 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

While thinking about options or mechanisms to make virtual probes "tamper-proof" I had this question coming up: Is the probe software capable to "verify" (check-sum or digital sig) the bootstrap kit and then, during run-time, verify that the code in memory is still genuine? Thanks, Wilfried

Atlas probe offline
by Steve Hill 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

My Atlas probe (ID 14587) has been showing as offline since December 16th. I can see DHCP requests/replies, it ARPs for the gateway and I can see DNS requests and pings from the probe, and successful replies to all of this traffic being sent back to the probe. e.g.: 12:13:38.790096 IP 192.168.0.115.35404 > 217.146.115.154.53: 2+ AAAA? ctr-nue15.atlas.ripe.net.

I'm not sure where to go next with figuring out why the probe seems to have vanished. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. -- - Steve

Examination of ARM based Atlas telemetry nodes
by Michael Schloh von Bennewitz 10 Jan '16

10 Jan '16

Hello developers, I'm scheduled to talk at the forthcoming MINIX conference, and was hoping to have the chance to examine your ARM based Atlas telemetry system. I only know of the Raspberry Pi devices loaned to the Tor project, and this could be relevant to my IoT work (leveraging IPv6 and ARM.) Andrew Tanenbaum recommended I write to Philip, is he here? Cheers, Michael -- Michael Schloh von Bennewitz Software Development Engineer Europalab Networks R&D, Munich Office: +49(89)44239885 UTC+2 Mobile: Same as 'Office' VoIP: sips:michael@schloh.com Web: http://michael.schloh.com/

Availability report accuracy
by Lorenzo Colitti 03 Jan '16

03 Jan '16

Hi, mostly out of curiosity: what sort of accuracy are the numbers in the monthly availability report? For example: the report says that my probe was "connected" 99.95% of the time (down for 20 seconds) in December. What does that mean? That the SSH control connection was not up? That the probe didn't have link? That it couldn't reach any targets? Something else? Cheers, Lorenzo

Seven new RIPE Atlas anchors have joined the community
by Michela Galante 31 Dec '15

31 Dec '15

Dear RIPE Atlas users, Since the previous announcement, seven new RIPE Atlas anchors have been activated bringing the total number to 164. - nc-nou-as56055, hosted by Micro Logic Systems (MLS) in Nouméa, New Caledonia. - bg-sof-as47872, hosted by Sofia Connect in Sofia, Bulgaria. - bg-sls-as198228, hosted by Silistra Telecom Solutions in Silistra, Bulgaria. - fr-ysd-as201958, hosted by Claranet in Saint-Denis, France. - de-erl-as680, hosted by Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg in Erlangen, Germany. - cr-sjo-as263779, hosted by NIC Costa Rica in San José, Costa Rica and sponsored by LACNIC. - nl-roo-as43350, hosted by NFOrce Entertainment in Roosendaal, Netherlands. The map of all anchor locations is available at: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/map/ You can access the anchoring measurements for all anchors at: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/list/ And here are the logos and links to hosting companies: https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/community/#!tab-anchor-sponsors We are still accepting new applications from organisations interested in hosting a RIPE Atlas anchor. We are particularly interested in deploying anchors in the Middle East, Western Asia, Latin America and Africa, in order to add more geographical diversity to the measurement data. There are more organisations that want to host a RIPE Atlas anchor but don’t have the necessary funding. To learn more about sponsoring an anchor, please contact us at mcb(a)ripe.net To apply for your own RIPE Atlas anchor: https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/become-an-anchor-host/ For any other questions, please contact us at atlas(a)ripe.net We’d like to thank all the anchor hosts and the organisations sponsoring anchors for their support in 2015. Thanks to you it was possible to expand the coverage and reach this amazing goal. Wishing all of you the best for 2016. Michela Galante on behalf of the RIPE Atlas Team RIPE NCC

How to deal with inaccurate geocoding of probes
by Klaus Darilion 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

Hi! Inspired by https://perso.telecom-paristech.fr/~drossi/index.php?n=Dataset.Anycast I wanted to detect my Anycast locations using the Atlas probes. The problem is, that my results are only as accurate as the geocoding of the Atlas probes. For example probe #19273 is reported to be somewhere in Kansas. Bit the probe is only 5ms away from my LAX server and also traceroute indicates the probe is in LAX (traceroute to 63.84.150.1). So, now I am seeking some advice how to handle such problems. Is there some tag that indicates "verified location"? Any other ideas? Thanks Klaus

Ticket response times
by Micha Bailey 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

Hi, what's the average time for responses to atlas(a)ripe.net tickets? I've been waiting almost 2 months to hear back on 1193254, and was wondering if that's a typical wait time or if it fell between the cracks...

Exploring the Idea of RIPE Atlas Virtual Probes
by Vesna Manojlovic 29 Dec '15

29 Dec '15

Dear colleagues, Some of you have asked about Virtual Probes on this list. Although we don't plan to make virtual probes available in 2016, we do plan to investigate this idea and develop some prototypes. Please find more details on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/exploring-the-idea-of-r… Kind regards, Vesna Manojlovic RIPE NCC
