MAT-WG proposal for WLAN measurements on RIPE Atlas
by Brook Schofield 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

MAT-WG, thankyou for giving me the opportunity to present on "The Value of WLAN Measurements for the R&E Community" at the Measurement and Tools Working Group at RIPE69. You can find my presentation and stenography logs at: https://ripe69.ripe.net/presentations/91-eduroam-and-Atlas-RIPE69.pdf https://ripe69.ripe.net/archives/steno/40 To progress this work within the RIPE NCC Atlas development team I'd like your input into the following five (5) points: #1: For "opt-in" WLAN measurements to be enabled on RIPE Atlas As a point of clarification (and reiterated by Daniel Karrenberg) the intention is that ALL v3 probes will be capable of WLAN measurements - but measurements will ONLY be turned on by a probe host. #2: WLAN measurements will support associating to an "open" or 802.1X protected network for the purposes of performing a measurement As an active monitoring network the Atlas probes WILL NOT scan and report on all/available SSIDs. It will ONLY associate with EXPLICITLY defined SSIDs listed in the measurement. For eduroam quality purposes the success/failure of an 802.1X associations is initially the most interesting part of the measurement in determining whether sites are correctly deploying this service. There will be results related to the authentication process. #3: Any measurements performed over the wireless interface are aligned with a request to associate/authenticate to a particular network. The wireless interface will be connected only for particular tests bundled with the association to an SSID. All other tests will be performed via the wired interface as is currently the case. #4: The schedule for implementation will be determined by the RIPE NCC R&D team ...but hopefully your support for this work will allow them to prioritise this work while not jeopardising the other commitments the team has made to the community. #5: This proposal is inline with your understanding of "WiFi measurements" on the Atlas roadmap I'd be particularly interested in your feedback on whether you thought that the WiFi Measurements listed in the http://roadmap.ripe.net/ripe-atlas/ would accomplish the above or something completely different. My feeling from the room was that the above was largely accepted. I'd appreciate those that voiced their support to also do this on the mailing list again. If there's any confusion I'm willing to clarify further.

ARIN (US) has joined RIPE Atlas anchors
by Michela Galante 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '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 us-qas-as10745 and is hosted by ARIN in Ashburn, United States on behalf of the RIPE NCC. We’re very pleased that, with this latest addition, all five Regional Internet Registries are now hosting a RIPE Atlas anchor! 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 RIPE NCC atlas(a)ripe.net

Dead Atlas Probe (TP-Link)
by Florian Streibelt 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Hi, I got a probe returned that was not able to connect to the Atlas network. The probe was doint nothing for 2 days, only the leftmost LED (Power) was on, nothing else seems to happen. I also had to learn, that after the probe was not working, the user cleared the USB-Stick. Is there a way to resurrect the probe? Also the probe should be re-added to my ambassador account, if possible. Greetings, Florian -- Florian Streibelt, Dipl.-Inf. building MAR, 4th floor, room 4.004 Fachgebiet INET - Sekr. MAR 4-4 phone: +49 30 314 757 33 Technische Universität Berlin gpg-fp: 5BE7 F008 8B83 9357 1108 Marchstrasse 23 - 10587 Berlin 984A 3B8E A41F 82F6 1240

Hi The RIPE Atlas hosts earn credit for the time their probes remain connected. I think it could be better to receive additional credit whenever someone uses that probe to make measurement. And if crowded probes be more expensive, we can distribute the load between same probes better. -- Shahin Gharghi

Many thanks :)

A short note to say 'thank-you' for the ability to configure the origination of an email message when the probe under my supervision has been offline for a short while. I was doing some work on my firewall today, and I neglected to re-plug the probe back into the USB port for power. The email informed me of my transgression. :) Mike.
