Probe disconnected – cold reboot required (ctr-ams08)
by Christian Schrötter 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Hello Atlas-Users! Do you have any problems with your probes today? Mine disconnected two times in the last ~15 hours and never came back online. Internet is stable and SD-card looks ok. I had to force a cold restart to get it back online. Strange thing, it's the first time in two years. Old uptime was 99 days... :-/ -- With kind regards, Christian Schrötter

Dear colleagues, Here is a summary of a research paper written by Wes Hardaker, Wouter de Vries and Ricardo Schmidt: Verfploeter: Broad and Load-aware Anycast Mapping IP anycast provides DNS operators and CDNs with automatic fail-over and reduced latency by breaking the Internet into catchments, each served by a different anycast site. https://labs.ripe.net/Members/wouter_de_vries/verfploeter-broad-and-load-aw… Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

Recent TLS supported by probes?
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

I cannot get the certificate for <https://dns-resolver.yeti.eu.org/> (measurement #10174881): "alert" is "{u'description': 40, u'level': 2}". It works with other, more "mainstream", HTTPS sites (see #10174883). I suspect this is because the probes don't handle the recent TLS stuff. Can anyone confirm or infirm?

Atlas Measurements
by Tom Glass 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Hello all, Hope you are having a great weekend. I just stopped by to ask if you guys would know where/if I can add new probes to an existing measurement. A new probe has appeared in the area we are monitoring and I was hoping there was a way of adding it without recreating the measurement? Cheers, all, Tom

Odd queries from probe
by Jared Mauch 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

While doing some debugging of my home network, I noticed some odd queries from the probe, namely this one: 02:28:36.921622 IP6 fe80::a2f3:c1ff:fec4:479f.51123 > 2001:558:feed::2.53: 23808+ A? 12920.atlas.ripe.net.b61065696c194ac3. (55) Is this some captive portal/wildcarding detection, or perhaps some other software issue? curious, - Jared

IPv4 leading zeroes and weird interface behaviour
by Max Grobecker 30 Oct '17

30 Oct '17

Hello, is there - by standard - a definition on how to represent an IPv4 address? I have (for example) the IP address "73.0.255.229", which can IMHO also be written as "073.000.255.229" as the leading zeroes are not giving any changes to the binary representation of this address. Am I right on this? But: When I lookup this IP address on https://stat.ripe.net/073.000.255.229 the first octet is internally getting swapped to "59". This can be explained, if you take "073" as an octal value and convert it to a decimal value. It is definitely a octal-to-decimal conversion thing, as for example also the value "010" is getting replaced by "8" and so on. Now I'm puzzled: Of course, writing IPv4 octets with leading zeroes is not very common. But: Is it officially prohibited or discouraged? This weird conversion also happens inside the "geoiplookup" tool by MaxMind and I'm not sure if I'm going to be the moron in this story or if I found the same bug inside multiple softwares at once ;-) Thanks and greetings from Wuppertal Max

I upgraded UBUNTU from 17.04 to 17.10 and I discovered that ripe-atlas-tools had disappeared. So I tried reinstalling it with "pop install ripe-atlas-tools", but the process crashed with the following error: Segmentation fault (core dumped) Can you help me solve the problem?
