Probes, static network configuration and upcoming firmware
by Robert Kisteleki 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Dear Atlas hosts, We're about to release a new firmware version that supports more built-in measurements as well as prepares the probes for the User Defined Measurements feature. We have recently discovered that there's a compatibility issue with the upcoming firmware and (non-DHCP) static network configuration. In order to avoid problems that would come up in this case, we have temporarily disabled the static network configuration panel. We are in the process of releasing a corrected firmware, and enable static configuration for this version automatically. For the probes that already have static configuration up and running: there's nothing you need to do, we'll make sure that during the upgrade these probes keep their static network configuration. We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause. Regards, Robert

On 28-30 November 2011 the ENOG 2/RIPE NCC Regional Meeting will take place. Registration is free and I think you'll get all required information about Atlas there. -- Pavel Yegorov

I haven't received the answer, so I duplicate this letter I am interested in project RIPE ATLAS http://meeting.afrinic.net/afrinic-13/images/stories/af13_presentation/AF-1… Sukhov Andrey Mihailovich is the supervisor of my diploma project (his mail: amskh(a)yandex.ru). He has recommended to me to write to you that letter.

The letter from the student Samara State Aerospace University
by Artem Onoprienko 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

Hello, I’m a student of Samara State Aerospace University. My name is Artem Onoprienko. I study at electronis engineering faculty with specialization in network technologies. I'm going to write a thesis project. I would like to be engaged in monitoring mechanisms of the Internet, and both hardware, and software part. In my work I would like to consider the possibility of additional quality criteria according to the IETF RFC 2544, and the work being done in the Samara State Aerospace University ( http://arxiv.org/abs/0907.3710 This work was presented at the conference in Lisbon. In this work, to measure the bandwidth using network testing packages of various sizes) As a first step I would like to see the ability to add these features to the RIPE Test Box. But I found no technical documentation about RIPE’s construction, and it’s electrical components. I would be grateful if you would give a link to documentation about hardware and software construction of the Ripe TestBox. It will be great help for me. With best regards Artem Onoprienko

Atlas infrastructure upgrades
by Robert Kisteleki 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Dear Atlas users, During the course of this week, we'll be busy with a major upgrade to virtually all components of the Atlas infrastructure. This affects the UI, the backend database, and the probe controllers as well. Please don't be alarmed when your probe disconnects, or if you cannot reach the web interface. We apologize the inconvenience this may cause. Regards, Robert

Automatic notification about down probes: if your probe has been down for some time, you'll get a one-time automatic notification. This happens after five consecutive days of downtime. 2. Static network configuration: after the testing round with volunteers, we decided to make this feature publicly available, thus released the 4.030 firmware version. You can read more about this feature at https://atlas.ripe.net/doc/static-config Regards, Robert Kisteleki, for the RIPE Atlas Team -- With respect, Roman

R: Email or SMS alert when probe goes offline/online
by Simone Nulchis 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Hi all, >What do other participants think about having email alerts when a probe goes offline or online? I think it could be a nice feature; in my opinion it should be implemented in "my probe" section of Ripe ATLAS under "Probe's Settings" a specific section that permits to enable such feature and customize the threshold and contact addresses.

New Face(s) in the Measurements and Tools Area
by Daniel Karrenberg 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Gentlepeople, I am very happy to announce that we have a new community builder for measuremnts and tools: Vesna Manjolovic. Many of you will know Vesna already as a trainer and through her very enthousiastic work on our IPv6 promotion and IPv6 related measurements. Vesna has been with the RIPE NCC for more than 10 years; it gives me great pleasure to promote her to a position that makes optimal use of her capabilities and ambitions. Vesna's first priorities will be to establish relationships with current and potential sponsors of RIPE Atlas and to help develop a plan for the evoloution of RIPE TTM. RIPE Atlas sponsors and RIPE TTM customers will hear from her soon. The decision to hire internally not only affirms that initiative and effort are rewarded at the RIPE NCC; it also provides the budgetary room to engage another person to help with the community building for measurements: Ann Barcomb will therefore join Vesna in October. >From that time both Vesna and Ann will start to work on additional goals such as building a strong community around RIPEstat. Please join me in welcoming Vesna and help her to achieve her goals, which are also our common goals. Daniel
