Next week: webinar on "Advanced RIPE Atlas Usage"
by Michela Galante 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

Dear colleagues, On Thursday 5 November, 1:30 PM Amsterdam time we are hosting, for the 4th time, webinar on "Advanced RIPE Atlas Usage", aiming to teach network operators how to use RIPE Atlas measurements for network monitoring and troubleshooting. Register now at: https://lirportal.ripe.net/training/register/courseCode/WEB20150046 Web-registration is *only* possible for LIRs (RIPE NCC members). Non-members of RIPE NCC (people who do not have "Reg-ID") can email training(a)ripe.net and be manually registered. More details below. -------------------------- https://www.ripe.net/support/training/learn-online/webinars/advanced-ripe-a… This is part of the series of interactive on-line learning sessions, that give you the opportunity to learn and interact with trainers without leaving your desk, as well as for hands-on practice, and to get your questions answered by developers. Learn how to: - Use RIPE Atlas measurements for network monitoring and troubleshooting - Use API calls for measurement creation - Integrate RIPE Atlas with existing monitoring systems Webinars start at 12:30 UTC, and take about one hour. ----------------------------- We look forward to seeing you online. Kind regards, Michela Galante and Vesna Manojlovic RIPE NCC

'new set wizzard' broken?
by newsboonie 29 Oct '15

Hi, It seems the 'new set wizzard' for selecting probes is not working anymore. It does show the map but the input box is missing. Is it just me or is it broken? Thanks, Dave

Leaseweb Network (US, Manassas and San Francisco) have joined RIPE Atlas anchors
by Michela Galante 28 Oct '15

28 Oct '15

Dear RIPE Atlas users, We're happy to announce that two more RIPE Atlas anchors have joined the network and are now available as targets for probe hosts conducting their own user-defined measurements. The new anchors, both hosted by Leaseweb Network in United States, are: us-mnz-as30633, in Manassas (Virginia) us-sfo-as7203, in San Francisco (California) Congratulations to Leaseweb Network for their third and fourth anchor online! Anchoring measurements (ping, ping6, traceroute and traceroute6) are scheduled towards these anchors 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! Kind regards, RIPE Atlas Team RIPE NCC atlas(a)ripe.net

GEMNET LLC (Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia) has joined RIPE Atlas Anchors
by Michela Galante 28 Oct '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 mn-uln-as45204 and it is hosted by GEMNET LLC in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. 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!

Probe not appearing in the Atlas
by Ismael Carmona 28 Oct '15

28 Oct '15

Hello, We have the probe #24142, it gets DHCP fine (91.123.100.8) and we can ping it and see with sflow that it perform requests to external servers but we cannot find it online in the atlas. We already tried rebooting it. Any idea how we can make it appear online in the atlas page? Thank you, Ismael

traceroute - view latest results
by gboonie 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

What should the blue 'i' do at the right side of a traceroute measurement? Hovering over it shows a 'view lastest results' message. For example in this measurement: https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/2845726/#!probes I'm hoping it will soon display all the hops of a traceroute. Just like the traceroutes of the built-in measurements. Just like: Thanks, Dave

filter ping results by AS
by Sebastian Neuner 26 Oct '15

26 Oct '15

Hi there, I'm currently trying to figure out, how I can get all ping results to(/from) my AS within a certain time frame, to run some statistics. The REST-API documentation [0] states, that measurements can be filtered by dst_asn, but it doesn't seem to influence the results I'm getting: > filter: { > 'start_time__gt': 1445231337, > 'type': 'ping', > 'dst_asn': 553 > } > > dst_asn dst_name > -------------------------------------------- > 2607 sk-bts-as2607.anchors.atlas.ripe.net > 2602 lu-lux-as2602.anchors.atlas.ripe.net > 16154 88.213.204.251 > 1853 at-vie-as1853.anchors.atlas.ripe.net > 8608 195.18.114.5 > 32475 www.siteground.com > 12322 78.194.137.59 > None ch-zrh-as559.anchors.atlas.ripe.net Also, why do some measurements have no dst_asn?

Private Probes: What's the Point
by Jonathan Brewer 24 Oct '15

24 Oct '15

Hi All, I've run into a few probes marked private, and when I've found & asked the owners, they didn't realise they'd done anything restrictive or harmful to researchers by marking their probes private. Intrigued at this phenomena, I had a look at the probe metadata. Right now I think there are 1,534 Atlas probes that are active and connected to the network, but marked private. What's the point of having private probes in the network? Do their hosts still earn credits they can use on public probes? Should they be? Are private probe hosts helping the project? The FAQ says nothing about private probes, so I thought I would ask here. Thanks, Jon

Anchors and NTP back to the future
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 23 Oct '15

23 Oct '15

Some anchors appear to be reachable with NTP but most of them are not. I guess it means the anchor always has a NTP server (and I assume it is on purpose) but many networks filter it. What is the good recommanded practice? Specially in the light of the Back to the Future attack <http://www.cs.bu.edu/~goldbe/NTPattack.html>

Public vs. Non-Public Probes
by Vesna Manojlovic 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

Hi Jonathan and others, Thanks for bringing this point up again. I hope others will feel free to join in the discussion. As Wilfried mentioned, we did have a discussion about public and non-public probes some time ago. Here are the relevant posts: RIPE Labs article proposing making RIPE Atlas probes and measurements more public: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/proposing-making-ripe-atlas-data-more-p… Discussion on the ripe-atlas list: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/mat-wg/2013-December/000399.html Conclusion: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/mat-wg/2014-March/000436.html Consequences: new terms & conditions, with more clarification on this topic: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-atlas-moving-to-production-service & https://atlas.ripe.net/legal/terms-conditions/ As you can see from the discussions above, some RIPE Atlas users felt it was important to retain the choice of marking their probes “non-public”. We do encourage all RIPE Atlas users to mark their probes “public” for the greatest benefit to the community, and the majority of probes are public. However, non-public probes are still used both for built-in measurements and user-defined measurements; they are just not listed on the web or API. Once a user decides to plug a probe into their network, IP address information can no longer remain "private". This is why we prefer to refer to them as “non-public” probes rather than truly “private” probes. Of course, we care very much about protecting probe hosts’ privacy and we never make personal information like email addresses or MAC addresses public. There is some more information about this in the FAQs on the RIPE Atlas website under the answers to "Will my IP address show up in measurements done by my probe?” and "Is the measurement data made public?”, but the RIPE Labs article referenced above contains the most detailed information on the topic. Thanks again for your thoughts on this, and please let us know if you have any other questions or comments. Regards, Vesna
