Fwd: Your RIPE Atlas Probe (ID: 11513) is now connected to our network
by Rusty Dekema 20 Oct '14

20 Oct '14

Good evening, In case you track these sorts of things, the ~2 week disconnection of this probe was caused by network trouble on my end (combined with an extended vacation), and not by the probe itself or any other part of the RIPE Atlas system. Cheers, Rusty Dekema ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: RIPE Atlas <atlas(a)ripe.net> Date: Sun, Oct 19, 2014 at 9:40 PM Subject: Your RIPE Atlas Probe (ID: 11513) is now connected to our network To: rdekema(a)gmail.com Dear RIPE Atlas probe host, Thank you for participating in RIPE Atlas! We're just letting you know that your probe (#11513 with description Comcast Business 50/10 (with IPv6 trial).) has re-established its link to our network and we are again receiving data from it. For your own records, it appears that the reconnection took place at 2014-10-20 01:39 UTC. If you have any questions, please contact us at atlas(a)ripe.net Best regards, RIPE Atlas Team ********** You are receiving this message because you applied for or were given a RIPE Atlas probe. We will only send messages when your probe becomes disconnected for an extended period of time.

Http Measurements
by Robert Vojcik 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Hi, I'm preparing some measurements for our project because we plan to migrate one big site from CDN. I saw in documentation that Atlas support HTTP measurements but not for all users by default. How can I request this feature ? We will have ping and traceroute measurements but HTTP reponses would be great to compare what impact migration will have. Thank you for help -- Robert

teamix (DE) has joined RIPE Atlas anchors
by Michela Galante 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

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 de-nue-as33988 and it is hosted by teamix GmbH in Nuremberg, Germany. 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!

RIPE Atlas vs. bash/shellshock vulnerability
by Robert Kisteleki 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

Dear RIPE Atlas users, The RIPE NCC made a public announcement earlier about this issue (see https://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/news/announcements/ripe-ncc-secu…) Still, since we have received some questions in email and Twitter about RIPE Atlas vs. this vulnerability so we'd like to respond to these with some more detail. The RIPE Atlas v1-v2-v3 probes are/were not affected by this issue at all since they don't run bash (or even have it installed) and also not providing any accessible services. The anchors have bash installed, but it is not used for any of the services provided. Besides, these servers have been patched right away. The infrastructure components (ie. controllers) were affected and as the RIPE NCC announcement explains, they have been patched as soon as the patch came out; basically within the day. Regards, Robert Kisteleki for the Atlas team

UDM limit?
by Paul Vlaar 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

Hi, I'm trying to add a UDM for one of our nameservers, however it appears others are already doing "too many measurements" for this server, as this is the message I get when I try to add my UDM: "10 UDMs are already measuring 199.19.54.1/2001:500:c::1. Cannot add 2 more" AFAIK I have no UDMs running for this server, so the mentioned UDMs are beyond my control to retract. Is it possible to find out who is running these UDMs so I can ask them to stop, or alter them in such a way that they match what I need in this UDM? It seems a bit odd to me that I can't do custom measurements on our server because others are already doing some. ~paul -- Paul Vlaar DNS Infrastructure Group Afilias e-mail: pvlaar(a)afilias.info phone: +1-416-673-4078 mobile DE: +49-1578-5742-695 mobile NL: +31-6-506-306-35 mobile USA: +1-602-410-4148

'limit' filed in the probe API metadata
by Eravuchira, Steffie Jacob 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hello, In the REST API for RIPE Atlas probes [1], there is a metadata "limit" to set the number of items displayed in the API [2]. Previously I have used the "limit" field to get the details of all the registered probes (by specifying limit as the value in the field "total_count" in metadata) at once using this API. Now the API works well with values of "limit" up to 100. But for any value greater than 100, the limit is automatically set to 100. Could anyone help me understand why this could happen and how I can access the details of all the RIPE Atlas registered probes? [1] https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe [2] https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?limit=n Thank you in advance for the help.

Probe on a /31 or /32 IPv4 network
by Baptiste Jonglez 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hi, We would like to deploy our Atlas probe on a separate L2 network, but without having to spend 4 IPv4 addresses (i.e. a /30 network). Using a /31 would be nice, but the web UI doesn't allow it as static IPv4 configuration ("The Gateway address should be different from the ending network address"). Would it be possible to allow /31 in the web UI? I believe the probes themselves support it. Even nicer would be support for /32 networks, even though it is perhaps less usual. This can easily be done with iproute2 on Linux, assuming the probe is 192.0.2.48/32 and its gateway is 192.0.2.1: ip addr add 192.0.2.48/32 dev eth0 ip route add 192.0.2.1/32 dev eth0 ip route add default via 192.0.2.1 or even shorter: ip addr add 192.0.2.48/32 dev eth0 ip route add default via 192.0.2.1 onlink dev eth0 Using a gateway that is not on the same subnet doesn't sound very nice, but again, the goal is to avoid wasting precious IPv4 space. Thanks, Baptiste

Probe suddenly lost IPv6 connectivity
by Ondřej Caletka 11 Aug '14

Hi, strange thing happened today. My probe v2 #3467 suddenly lost IPv6 connectivity and reconnected to the control server using IPv4. The probe does not even respond to ping6 ff02::1%eth1 sent from the router. I wonder what could cause such behavior. I will try to reboot the probe once I'll reach it. -- Ondřej Caletka

Probe 2092 shown as offline for a month
by David Precious 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

Hi there, My v1 probe #2092 has been showing as offline for a month, despite being powered up and pinging. Yesterday I power-cycled it, and it came back up and answers pings again, but the Atlas control panel still shows it as disconnected. Is there any troubleshooting I can do to get more information? I've verified that I can ping it from my internal network. There's no egress filtering which would be blocking it from talking outbound. I've just had my router log new outbound connections then power-cycled the probe again. I saw it successfully obtain an IP via DHCP (10:13:21), then 31 minutes later, connected to oneill.atlas.ripe.net (193.0.19.12) on port 443 (10:44:50) (UK times). I have verified that another box on the same network can connect to that IP & port: [davidp@columbia:~]$ telnet 193.0.19.12 443 Trying 193.0.19.12... Connected to 193.0.19.12. Escape character is '^]'. SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.3 Anything else I can do to provide more useful info?
