Problem with Map Tab of DNS Measurement
by Klaus Darilion 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

Hi! I did a one-off DNS measurement: https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/3050168/ As long as the measurement was running, I could click on the map tab. But now as the measurement is finished, the "map" tab is gone. While loading the site I see for a short time the tabs General information, Probes, Map and Results. But as soon as the site is loaded completely the Map and Probes tab are gone. Calling the map explicitely using https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/3050168/#!map does also not work. Is this a feature or a bug? Thanks Klaus

Dear colleagues, The second RIPE Atlas hackathon took place 13-14 November 2015 in conjunction with the RIPE 71 meeting. Impressive results were hacked together by programmers and operators during an intensive weekend of work and fun in Bucharest. In this article we celebrate the hackathon achievements and report about the benefits for the community in detail: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-atlas-tools-hackathon-results Regards, Vesna ps to bring you some spirit of the event... http://www.memes.com/meme/784389

Feature Request Web Interface
by Klaus Darilion 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

When viewing the "Map" results of a DNS measurement some details will be shown in a pop-up when clicking on the respective probe. It would be great if the NSID (if available) would be shown too (not only Response Time and Serial) thanks Klaus

Spoofing measurenments
by Pavel Odintsov 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hello, Community! I'm writing from RIPE71 / Anti spoofing BoF. So I want to ask for some difficult ethical question. Could we detect probe hosts who do not deploy outgoing filtering and accept spoofed traffic? We need to know amount of they. It's really important for solving spoofing issue in Internet scale. -- Sincerely yours, Pavel Odintsov

[request]: probe timezone offsets
by Bajpai, Vaibhav 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hello, It would be nice to report a timezone offset for each probe via the probe API. Since measurements are reported in UTC, it's currently difficult to visualise a timeseries result in the local time of the probe. In order to do this, one has to turn the geolocations (currently reported in the probe API) of the probe to the corresponding timezone offset (which takes time) and then adjust the measurement timestamps by the timezone offset. It would be great if the timezone offsets of the probe are available via API. Thanks! PS: This is very low priority request.

Leftover budget? Consider a RIPE Atlas anchor
by Vesna Manojlovic 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Dear all, The end of the year is coming closer, and you might be wondering, “What is the best way to spend some of the money still left in my budget, while at the same time contributing to the good of the Internet?” Why not consider hosting a RIPE Atlas anchor?! Investing in an anchor means you will: - Gain access to a wealth of measurement data (IPv4/IPv6 pings, trace routes) targeting your anchor from all the other anchors and hundreds of probes throughout the RIPE Atlas network, without spending credits - Earn 10 times more credits compared to hosing a regular probe that you can spend on your own customised measurements - HTTP measurements towards your anchor [1] - Have your logo included on the RIPE Atlas website [2] - Join a growing community that is providing great benefit to the Internet: there are currently 159 RIPE Atlas anchors around the world You can learn more about hosting an anchor here: https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/become-an-anchor-host/ Thanks, and happy holiday season!

[Request] System tags for DNS resolution
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

[Is there a better way to record enhancement requests for Atlas? Atlas has no public issue tracker, if I'm correct?] It would be cool to have system (automatic) tags for DNS resolution because some probes are using broken DNS resolvers. For instance, system-dns-works (modeled on IPv6's system tag) would be fine. Or may be system-dns-resolver-works (longer but more accurate). For instance, probes 16659, 17072, 17620, 17854 use a resolver which yields a REFUSED for any request and probe 19948, 20065 one with systematic SERVFAIL. [Is the maintainer of the probe automatically notified when there is such an issue?]

Seven new RIPE Atlas anchors have joined the community
by Michela Galante 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

Dear RIPE Atlas users, Seven new RIPE Atlas anchors have been activated bringing the total number to 157. - Three anchors hosted by Leaseweb Network: us-mnz-as30633 in Manassas, Virginia, us-sfo-as7203 in San Francisco, California, and sg-sin-as59253 in Singapore. - jp-tyo-as13901, hosted by Afilias in Tokyo, Japan. - de-gaa-as56357, hosted by Technische Universität München in Garching, Germany. - cl-scl-as27678, hosted by NIC Chile in Santiago, Chile and sponsored by LACNIC. - pe-lim-as27843, hosted by Optical Technologies in Lima, Peru. 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 Regards, Michela Galante Measurements Community Building RIPE NCC
