SSL error on OpenIPMap
by Anurag Bhatia 04 Oct '16

04 Oct '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello everyone. Is it just me or anyone else getting SSL error on OpenIPMap? I can see that SSL cert of atlas.ripe.net is valid but when we open OpenIP Map, it calls one specific map image from fastly on HTTP resulting in "mixed content" making Chrome to throw SSL error. This is the URL of that image:http://stamen-tiles-c.a.ssl.fastly.net/toner-lite/3/5/5.png It does seems to be available on https already and so probably someone at RIPE need to update URL to call https in URL and avoid the false positive it's giving.

Inconsistent system tags
by Johannes Matheis 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

Hello, I got IPv6 connectivity for my probe 4365 a few days ago (2016-09-26) when I first noticed the system tag "IPv6 Doesn't Work". As the system tags aren't updated more often than every four hours I started some successful IPv6 measurements on that probe and settled back for four days. Now the probe is still flagged as IPv6 not working. In the meantime I noticed the tag "v2" but the general information tab tells me the system architecture is probev1… Actually I don't know if it's a v1 or v2, but it's still an old Lantronix one, so it's not completely wrong :-) Is there a possibility to re-trigger the assignment of the system tags for this probe or some other solution? Thanks! jomat

Initiating a TCP, UDP, and ICMP traceroutes from the same probe at the same time
by Zakaria Al-Qudah 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

Hi Folks, I am planning an experiment where I need each probe to perform TCP, UDP, and ICMP traceroutes at the same time. I could not see how I can do it using the Ripe Atlas website. Is there any way to do it? Best regards, Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum

Making public probes’ IP addresses public in web interface
by Andreas Strikos 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

Hello, We made a change a few weeks ago to the RIPE Atlas web interface to align it more closely with the API. As a result, you can now see the IP addresses for public probes, regardless of whether you are a logged in user or not. This information is displayed on the public probes’ detailed information pages, under the “Network” tab. Previously, public probes' IP addresses were not shown, even for logged in users. Nothing has changed in the API or the web interface for probes that are not shared publicly. We understand that some of you were surprised by this change and we apologise for not communicating it earlier. However, I want to make it clear that the IP addresses of public probes have always been available via the API, whether you are a logged in user or not. We decided to include it via the web interface so that our users could access the same information regardless of which interface they decide to use. RIPE Atlas is meant to be a public platform that openly provides data to everyone interested. In this spirit, we encourage everyone to make their probes public. However, if you decide that you *don’t* want to share your probe publicly, you can change this setting by going to your probe’s detailed information page (go to "My Atlas" and click on your probe’s ID), clicking on the “Edit” button under the “General Information” tab, and deselecting the “Shared Publicly” box. Please note that personal information such as MAC addresses and email addresses will never be shown, regardless of whether you decide to share your probe publicly or not. You can learn more about what information is made public in RIPE Atlas in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/proposing-making-ripe-atlas-data-more-p… Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Regards, Andreas Strikos RIPE NCC

Fifteen new RIPE Atlas anchors - including the first IPv4-only anchor
by Michela Galante 19 Sep '16

19 Sep '16

Dear colleagues, Fifteen new RIPE Atlas anchors have been activated since our last announcement in June, bringing the total number to 216: - us-abn-as54054, hosted by Deteque LLC in Ashburn, United States - us-sgu-as46309, hosted by Gartner Inc in Saint George, United States - lu-kay-as35733, hosted by EURid VZW in Kayl, Luxembourg - de-ham-as35258, hosted by akquinet Outsourcing in Hamburg, Germany - ua-iev-as24725, hosted by Hostmaster LLC in Kiev, Ukraine - ca-wnp-as18451, hosted by les.net in Winnipeg, Canada - de-dus-as12676, hosted by HKN GmbH in Düsseldorf, Germany - uk-lon-as34587, hosted by bet365 in London, United Kingdom - us-lax-as15133, hosted by Verizon Digital Media in Los Angeles, United States - us-lwc-as2495, hosted by KanREN Inc in Lawrence, United States - lb-bey-as12812, hosted by the American University of Beirut in Beirut, Lebanon (IPv4-only anchor) - pg-pom-as17828, hosted by Telikom PNG (sponsored by APNIC) in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea - ch-zrh-as9092, hosted by Open Systems in Zurich, Switzerland - nl-ams-as34106, hosted by TMG/Telegraaf in Amsterdam, Netherlands - dk-hje-as39642, hosted by WNB ApS in Højer, Denmark You can find the full list of anchors, a map of their locations, a list of the hosting organisations and more information about RIPE Atlas anchors online: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/list/ As a follow-up to some discussion on this list, we wanted to reiterate that we made the decision to support IPv4-only anchors because the goal of RIPE Atlas is to measure as much of the Internet as possible, and right now, that includes IPv4-only networks. We also believe that measuring networks before and after they enable IPv6 provides useful data. IPv4-only anchors are clearly marked as such, and we will implement checks to ensure these anchors become IPv6-capable as soon as their ASNs begin announcing IPv6. In the meantime, the RIPE NCC will continue to actively promote IPv6 deployment through our training courses, IPv6 Act Now website, IPv6 Roadshows and other programs, and our IPv6 Program Manager will follow up with any hosts requesting an IPv4-only anchor to help them in any way possible. We believe that supporting IPv4-only anchors will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the Internet and that the entire Internet community will benefit from more measurement data. You can learn more in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ipv4-only-ripe-atlas-an… Interested in hosting a RIPE Atlas anchor? Learn more: https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/become-an-anchor-host/ 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 several organisations that want to host a RIPE Atlas anchor but don’t have the necessary funding. To learn more about sponsoring an anchor, or for any other questions, please contact us at atlas(a)ripe.net And don’t forget to let us know if you’re doing something interesting with RIPE Atlas data - we always want to hear about your use cases, research and experiences! Regards, Michela Galante RIPE NCC

Hi, I got "Invalid target" error when I tried to create a measurement to see how far some RFC 1918 prefixes got propagated (carrier not properly filtering customer announcement). What is considered invalid for each measurement type? Thanks. Yang

All my measurements now show Forbidden status. Is there a > way to increase the limit? yes, ask the team at atlas(a)ripe.net (cc-ed). the folks there can extend limits (not unlimited of course, these limits are there for a reason :) ), but would need some info from you: - what is the experiment you'd like to perform - what would you want the new limit to be (and why what you want to do can't be done with the current limits and/or existing measurements) - when does your experiment end (ie. when can we put the limits back to the default) - promise us that you'll acknowledge RIPE Atlas in a paper - send us a link/copy of the paper once it's published (i hope i'm not forgetting things :) ) cheers, emile
