Periodic Probes Outage
by Milad Afshari 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Dear all, Hi Within past days I am experiencing some periodic outage of many probes here in Iran, since I have checked all my probes and their network connections status, I guess they have some issue for connecting to the RIPE Atlas infrastructure. https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/?public=4&status=&country=IR&search=&… please let me know your thoughts and opinions. Many thanks Milad

RIPE Atlas Software Probes Survey
by Alun Davies 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Dear colleagues, We are working on making the RIPE Atlas measurement software available as an installable package so you can run RIPE Atlas probes entirely in software without the need of a dedicated physical device. We are interested in your feedback regarding this feature, and we are also looking for volunteers willing to partner with us and help package the software for various operating systems and platforms. Please send your feedback and let us know if you can support RIPE Atlas software probes by filling in this short survey: https://www.ripe.net/participate/forms/apply/atlas-probes/ <https://www.ripe.net/participate/forms/apply/atlas-probes/> Kind regards, Alun Davies RIPE NCC

Web interface for Create New Measurements does not work for me

https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/form/ when I click Traceroute and enter an IP address, then "Create My Measurements" button on the bottom does not do anything, no error message. Tried various settings and Firefox, Edge, Chrome. Is it error on my side? Any idea? Thank you Jiri

RFC1918 probes
by Mayer Hans 22 May '19

22 May '19

Dear All, Looking at the result of a traceroute measurement I see very often that first hop has a RFC1918 address. These days a found a result where the first 3 hops are showing something like 192.168.x.y Of course this could falsify the result especially for response time. Is there a way to select only Atlas probes which are located in non RFC1918 networks ? If not it would be nice to have such a possibility. Kind regards Hans -- Ing. Dipl.-Ing.

New probe tags proposal
by Antonios Chariton 18 May '19

18 May '19

Hello everyone, I believe it would be of interest to have system-assigned tags to probes based on whether their network is performing RPKI validation or not. This can be two new tags, “rpki-validating” and “no-rpki-validation”, or similar. The tags should be assigned per probe, using RIPE’s RIS Routing Beacons [1], by running system ping checks every hour / day. What do you think? Would this be something that you would find useful? Thanks, Antonis 1: https://www.ripe.net/analyse/internet-measurements/routing-information-serv… <https://www.ripe.net/analyse/internet-measurements/routing-information-serv…>

Re: [atlas] [WARNING! RECEIVED FROM EXTERNAL SENDER] Incorrect location of probe #6422
by Ponikierski, Grzegorz 09 May '19

BTW it's an anchor. I guess that location of anchors should be double-checked as they play important role. Regards, Grzegorz From: "Ponikierski, Grzegorz" <gponikie(a)akamai.com> Date: Tuesday 2019-05-07 at 17:37 To: "ripe-atlas(a)ripe.net" <ripe-atlas(a)ripe.net> Subject: [WARNING! RECEIVED FROM EXTERNAL SENDER] [atlas] Incorrect location of probe #6422 Hi all! According to Atlas probe #6422 is located in Los Angeles but from measurements it's clear that probe is in Miami. Can somebody relay this information to probe owner to fix location? Regards, Grzegorz

Communication with probes' owners
by Ponikierski, Grzegorz 02 May '19

02 May '19

Hi all! From time to time I find probes which has incorrect country in their description. For example #10333 supposed to be in US but from my measurements it looks like it is somewhere nearby Amsterdam. If something has 10ms RTT to target in Amsterdam, has hops with `nl-ams14a-ri1-ae8-0.aorta.net<https://stat.ripe.net/nl-ams14a-ri1-ae8-0.aorta.net>` description and has ASN for LibertyGlobal then this probe is rather in Europe. It takes some time to resolve such issue via RIPE team so maybe we can get a form to send direct and short message to probe owner to let him/her know that something is wrong with his/her probe and we ask for verification. What do you think about that? Regards, Grzegorz

Probes fluctuation
by Rami Al-Dalky 30 Apr '19

30 Apr '19

Hello, I am running a number of one-off measurements and all what I request is 200 probes. However, I see a fluctuation in the number of participating probes (sometimes I get 198 and sometimes as low as 175). Any idea what is the issue? Thanks a lot, Rami

All our atlas probes have reverted to DHCP
by Sebastian Wiesinger 24 Apr '19

24 Apr '19

Hi, all of our four atlas probes have reverted from their fixed network configuration to DHCP which is a shame because there is no DHCP at their present locations. Also this not the first time it happend. Can someone explain why this happens and how to prevent this? This wastes a lot of time and effort every time it happens. Regards Sebastian
