APIs for accessing DNSMON data
by Brett Carr 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Hello, last year there was a discussion on this list regarding API’s for accessing DNSMON data, I believe the intention was to discuss this at the Warsaw meeting, unfortunately I was not able to attend that meeting so I’m not really sure what the outcome of that discussion was. Nominet use DNSMON on a daily basis and would be very interested in using an API to access the data held in DNSMON. Thanks Brett -- Brett Carr Senior DNS Engineer Nominet UK

1msec RTT to ipv6.google.com?
by Abreu, Alexandre, Vodafone Portugal 22 Jul '15

22 Jul '15

Hi all Anyone had any issues with wrong RTTs on IPv6 probes? I've setup a ping probe (ID#2143865) to ipv6.google.com and it's consistently giving 1msec RTT on the seismograph and the json file. It is physically impossible. This is the RTT I get on the CPE the probe is connected to: SEQ HOST SIZE TTL TIME STATUS 0 2a00:1450:4003:806::200e 56 59 12ms echo reply 1 2a00:1450:4003:806::200e 56 59 12ms echo reply 2 2a00:1450:4003:806::200e 56 59 12ms echo reply 3 2a00:1450:4003:806::200e 56 59 12ms echo reply 4 2a00:1450:4003:806::200e 56 59 12ms echo reply 5 2a00:1450:4003:806::200e 56 59 12ms echo reply Regards, Alexandre Abreu

Probe downtime alert for IPv6?
by Jeroen van der Ham 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

Hi, The portal offers a notification option for down time. I have a probe that is connected both over IPv4 and IPv6. The latter is through an IPv6 tunnel, which seems a bit flaky at times. I was hoping that the downtime notification would also hold for IPv6, but it turns out it doesn’t. Would it be possible that that be added? Thanks, Jeroen.

atlas.ripe.net site 302 redirect loop
by Yang Yu 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

I have been having this issue with every feature that requires logging in on https://atlas.ripe.net. For instance, when I try to create an API key, HTTP POST to /keys/create/ gets a 302 to https://atlas.ripe.net/login?next=/keys/create/, then the new GET results in another 302 to https://atlas.ripe.net/keys/create/ and back to https://atlas.ripe.net/login?next=/keys/create/ until the browser gives up on redirecting and throws an error. Tested on Chrome/Firefox with Ubuntu trusty and Windows 7. Tried on a different computer from a different continent, still the same issue.

BDIX (Bangladesh) has joined RIPE Atlas anchors
by Michela Galante 16 Jul '15

16 Jul '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 bd-dac-as24122 and it is hosted by BDIX in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and sponsored by APNIC. 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! Kind Regards, RIPE Atlas Team atlas(a)ripe.net

Problem in stopping measuraments
by Elverton Fazzion 14 Jul '15

14 Jul '15

Hello, I've got a issue trying to stop a measurament. I used the RIPE normally last year and I started to use it again two weeks ago. I realized that one experiment was still running since last year and I tried to stop it by using the REST API as described in the documentation. Unfortunately, it did not work. Thus, I tried to stop in the web interface and it did not work either. I do not know how to proceed in order to stop it. The credits got negative even I denied this kind of situation in my profile. Anyone had the same problem? The measurament ID of my experiment is 1791052. Thank you, Elverton.

Upcoming change to DNS IN/TXT query result
by Philip Homburg 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Hi, This is to inform you about a change in a future release of the RIPE Atlas firmware that changes how 'IN TXT' records get decoded in DNS measurements. Currently, the JSON generated by the probe for TXT query looks like this: { "fw" : -1 , "time" : 1436282373 , "lts" : -1 , "name" : "stereo.hq.phicoh.net" , "dst_addr" : "130.37.15.35" , "af" : 4 , "src_addr" : "193.0.10.226" , "proto" : "UDP" ,"result" : { "rt" : 12.172,"size" : 219 , "ID" : 45298 , "ANCOUNT" : 1 , "QDCOUNT" : 1 , "NSCOUNT" : 2 , "ARCOUNT" : 2,"abuf" : "sPKEAAABAAEAAgACB2RyYWdvbnMEYWlveQJldQAAEAABB2RyYWdvbnMEYWlveQJldQAAEAABAAAOEABPJUhlcmUgYmUg/yBkcmFnb25zISBXaXRoIFwgYW5kICIgYW5kIH8IYXMgd2VsbC4fVGhyb3dpbmcgaW4ggCBmb3IgZ29vZCBtZWFzdXJlLsApAAIAAQAADhAABgNuczHAKcApAAIAAQAADhAABgNuczLAKcCXAAEAAQAADhAABIIlDyPAqQAcAAEAAA4QABAgAQRw0WoAEAKgyf/+nxep","answers" : [ {"TYPE" : "TXT" , "NAME" : "dragons.aioy.eu" , "RDATA" : "Here be \u00FF dragons! With \\ and \" and \u0008as well.\u001FThrowing in \u0080 for good measure."} ] } } Note that the '\u' escape sequence is used escape characters outside the safe ASCII range and that the code fails to support more than one string (the actual reply contains 3 strings). The '\u' notation seemed like a good idea at the time, but because it is valid JSON it is not always transparent and it triggered bugs in other software. The plan is to move to the following format: { "fw" : -1 , "time" : 1436282575 , "lts" : -1 , "name" : "stereo.hq.phicoh.net" , "dst_addr" : "130.37.15.35" , "af" : 4 , "src_addr" : "193.0.10.226" , "proto" : "UDP" ,"result" : { "rt" : 13.186,"size" : 219 , "ID" : 45298 , "ANCOUNT" : 1 , "QDCOUNT" : 1 , "NSCOUNT" : 2 , "ARCOUNT" : 2,"abuf" : "sPKEAAABAAEAAgACB2RyYWdvbnMEYWlveQJldQAAEAABB2RyYWdvbnMEYWlveQJldQAAEAABAAAOEABPJUhlcmUgYmUg/yBkcmFnb25zISBXaXRoIFwgYW5kICIgYW5kIH8IYXMgd2VsbC4fVGhyb3dpbmcgaW4ggCBmb3IgZ29vZCBtZWFzdXJlLsApAAIAAQAADhAABgNuczHAKcApAAIAAQAADhAABgNuczLAKcCXAAEAAQAADhAABIIlDyPAqQAcAAEAAA4QABAgAQRw0WoAEAKgyf/+nxep","answers" : [ {"TYPE" : "TXT" , "NAME" : "dragons.aioy.eu" , "RDATA" : [ "Here be \\255 dragons! With \\092 and \\034 and \\127", "as well.", "Throwing in \\128 for good measure." ] } ] } } Here the escape sequence is similar to the one in DNS zone files. Except that the backslash has to be doubled in JSON. Furthermore, after RDATA comes a list of strings instead of a single string directly. For anyone who parses the JSON output directly, the change from a single string to a list of strings is probably the biggest change. Similar changes will be made in the Sagan package. There, python tricks may hide the list if the result is used in a string context. Philip

Get the list of all probes?
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

For a project (testing the randomness of probe selection), I need a list of all probes. The only solution I find is a loop over <https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?limit=100&offset=N> Is there a simpler way? <https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/api/#public-probes-list> seems to say there is a JSON file with all probes but it yields a 404 (reported to the RIPE-NCC, ticket [ripe.net #1179513])

API to get information about a probe?
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

I cannot find an API to retrieve information about a probe. I would like to get the information I can see on, for instance, <https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/10644/> but from a REST + JSON API. Does it exist? Do you think it would be a nice addition? (My current use case is that I find some probes failing to ping a target and I would like to quickly check if they share something, such as ASn or some tags.)

Probe and measurement archives vs. the APIs
by Robert Kisteleki 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Dear All, We've observed recently that some users are using scripts to "crawl" through all the metadata provided by the probe and measurement APIs. This means that some people out there download basically the entire probe and/or measurement meta data set the system provides. As you can imagine, this is highly inefficient and keeps our servers busy. We believe that there could be better solutions. We have been providing the downloadable archive for probe metadata for some time now, and recently we've added the measurement metadata too. You can now reach these at http://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/atlas/ This way one can even get complete sets of metadata as far back as January 2015 for measurement specifications and March 2014 for probe data. Given the existence of these archives, we will apply a sane limit on how much metadata can be reached via the APIs. In practice this means that the API will not allow fetching results beyond, say, 10.000 (i.e. 500 pages of 20) entries. This is after the application of filters, so for example with no filters at all you could still access metadata of the 10k newest measurements, while if you filter for DNS measurements only, you could get the 10k newest of those, and so on. We believe this keeps the metadata API useful for the majority of the users, while the existence of the archive serves the remaining cases. Our plan is to make this change around the end of July. Regards, Robert Kisteleki

RIPE Atlas traceroute visualisation - use cases
by Massimo Candela 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

Hello, We are creating a tool to visualise traceroute results coming from the RIPE Atlas measurement network. The tool will of course be available to everyone. To help make this tool as useful as possible, I’m gathering use cases of day-to-day operations and research activities that use traceroute measurements. I hope you can spend a few minutes to answer this email and tell me how you use traceroute measurements or what you would like to have in such a tool. For each use case you have in mind, please describe it briefly. Keep in mind our system can collect measurements from multiple sources to a single target repeatedly (e.g. every 60 seconds). Don’t focus only on traceroute data, but also on correlations among traceroutes and BGP, RTT, geolocations, DNS, and registry information (feel free to expand the list to other datasets). Thanks for your time. Your help is invaluable. Ciao, Massimo RIPE NCC

Enabling Data Compression in RIPE Atlas
by Vesna Manojlovic 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

Dear colleagues, We’d like to enable gzip compression on all of RIPE Atlas' measurement API calls — but thanks to the BREACH vulnerability, doing so could mean that some enterprising individual with an obscene amount of time on their hands might be able read the contents of the responses. This means measurement results as well as metadata for measurements — including the small number of measurements not marked as “public”. We believe the drawbacks are negligible, but we’re looking for community support.

atlas anchor DANE records
by Bjørn Mork 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hello, I just noticed "We also generate a DANE record for each anchor" in the docs and became instantly curious. There aren't that many DANE records out there in the wild :) The records seem to be pointing to a self signed certificate (as documented), but with 'usage' = 1 instead of 3 as expected. At least the two records I looked at had this - I assume they are all created the same way. Is this intentional? It makes 'normal' verification fail: bjorn@canardo:~$ tlsa --debug --verify nl-ams-as3333.anchors.atlas.ripe.net Received the following record for name _443._tcp.nl-ams-as3333.anchors.atlas.ripe.net.: Usage: 1 (End-Entity Constraint + chain to CA) Selector: 0 (Certificate) Matching Type: 1 (SHA-256) Certificate for Association: 88422d55424ca8f6f74e165016851cb195fc0919f82f8762574a4d71868964e9 This record is valid (well-formed).

Notifications for unreachable probes
by Peter Eckel 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Hi, I have set up a notification if my probe 10293 is down for more than 15 minutes. Since my main mail address is located on a server likely to be unavailable if the probe is down, the notification was set to a different mail address not in the same network. Unfortunately it seems that the notification address is ignored, and the notification is sent to the reporting address instead. Does anyone else see that problem as well? Regards, Peter.

Atlas and TLSA RR's?
by Rose, Scott W. 26 May '15

26 May '15

Hello, We have a TLSA test tool called DANELaw (https://www.had-pilot.com/dane/danelaw.html) The tool basically check for a TLSA RR for a given domain name and makes sure it matches the presented TLS certificate. Over the last few days we noticed a large volume of tests for TLSA RR's ending in "anchor.atlas.ripe.net". This isn't a big deal (except for our crude logging system), just wondering if this is a self-check, or some test. Also, our tool isn't really a production service, so if it goes down - will it effect anything?

Big latency change
by Daniel Baeza (Red y Sistemas TVT) 21 May '15

21 May '15

Hi folks, How can I check what happened at 13:00 (Dont know if the time in my probe is UTC or UTC+2) of today in the a.root-servers.net? My latency with the a-root changed from 117 to 45ms and Im curious of what happened. I've took a look in the RIPEstat routing for the IP Address of the root server, and at the same time the BGP had changes, but there are too many AS involved I cant follow it. Thanks in advance! -- Daniel Baeza

Invalid JSON because of DNS TXT records
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 15 May '15

15 May '15

The DNS, as we know, is a jungle. People put anything in their TXT records, even control characters. Atlas faithfully returns this content in the JSON files (see measurement #2004707). Then they are no longer legal JSON (RFC 7159, section 7) and crash the JSON libraries. Who should fix it? My first guess is that Atlas should not produce illegal JSON files and therefore should escape such texts.

Geographic Selection of Probe
by Graham Beneke 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Hi All Due to the huge number of probes in Europe there is always a heavy bias when selecting "whole world" for UDMs. In the past I could get around this by requesting numbers of probes from each region/continent. I can't figure out how to do this on the new interface. Using the wizard there does not seem to be a way to request a random subset of probes within the area selected. When using the manual probe selection I can't find what area codes I can use besides "WW" Am I missing something? -- Graham Beneke graham(a)apolix.co.za

by Vesna Manojlovic 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Dear all, In this post we look at 10 countries in South East Europe and see how we can use RIPE Atlas to get a sense of routing and the interconnectedness of networks in these countries: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/measuring-countries-and-ixps-in-the… Two prototype tools used here can benefit from your feedback & involvement: IXP-Jedi & OpenIPMap. Please take some time to play with the interactive grid (IXP-Jedi), e.g. for Romania: http://sg-pub.ripe.net/emile/ixp-country-jedi/RO-2015-04/ixpcountry/ Code: https://github.com/emileaben/ixp-country-jedi/ Or join the OpenIPMap to crowdsource geolocation of IP infrastructure: https://github.com/RIPE-Atlas-Community/openipmap Kind regards, Vesna

IPv6 auto-tagging failure?
by Bjørn Mork 21 Apr '15

21 Apr '15

Hello, I'm wondering a bit about the IPv6 auto-tagging. I recently reveived a v3 probe and connected it to a dual-stack enabled network. The probe was initially tagged as 2015-04-16 20:23 UTC Probe auto-tagged Your probe #22894 was automatically tagged as "system: IPv6 Capable" but then (on the next batch run?, after a couple of quick firmware upgrades (3.3.8 => 4650 => 4680): 2015-04-17 08:23 UTC Probe auto-untagged Your probe #22894 was automatically untagged as "system: IPv6 Capable" and there it has been since. This wouldn't worry me too much if it otherwise worked, but I noticed that the probe isn't listed with an "ASN v6" either. So I assume the missing tag prevents it from being used for v6 probing? AFAICS, the probe does take the announced prefix, and is actually *using* the provided IPv6 connectivity. The "Connection History" shows that it consistently uses its SLAAC address to connect to the controller. So why isn't it tagged as IPv6 capable/works etc? In desperation I tried different netwrok settings, static address, adding v6 DNS, and fiddling with the managed/other flags along with matching DHCPv6 config. Made no difference of course. If I understood correctly, the probe firmware won't currently do any DHCPv6, and v6 DNS is optional as long as there is a working v4 resolver available. Bjørn
