RIPE Atlas v3 Anchor Hardware
by Alun Davies 12 Sep '17

12 Sep '17

Dear all, The RIPE NCC has chosen a new model for the RIPE Atlas v3 Anchors. The hardware we finally opted for is the PC Engines APU2. As well as being cheaper than the previous generation of anchors, this model meets the majority of requirements we laid out for the next generation of anchors. To be clear, given that there are still a couple of minor logistical details to resolve, we are still keeping applications on hold for the time being. That said, we look set to meet our September deadline to resume shipping of RIPE Atlas anchors. For more information and future updates, please read our article on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/alun_davies/the-next-generation-of-ripe-atlas… <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/alun_davies/the-next-generation-of-ripe-atlas…> Kind regards, Alun Davies Comms RIPE NCC

Can Atlas probe handle Truncated response ?
by Davey Song(宋林健) 12 Sep '17

12 Sep '17

Hi folks, I once setup a measurement of DNS UDP to see if the number of timeout increase due to large response. The answer is yes. But I wonder if the timeout is no answer after three times of retries or also includes TCP fallback. Is it true that the probe in DNS UDP measurement will not use TCP to retry even after it receives a truncated response. Best regards, Davey

IPv6 issues with ATLAS and DNSMON
by Romeo Zwart 12 Sep '17

12 Sep '17

dear all, Due to a human error on our side, there have been problems with IPv6 connectivity to/from many of our servers, including atlas anchors since approximately 9:30 UTC this morning. The problem has been corrected and systems are recovering, but you may still see some problems in RIPE Atlas and DNSMON. We're still investigating the full impact of the problem and will have more information at a later stage. We apologise for any inconvenience. Romeo Zwart

Infrastructure upgrades
by Robert Kisteleki 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

Dear all, Yesterday we began infrastructure (OS) upgrades on our controllers. As a consequence each probe will be disconnected for an hour or two. This can trigger notifications, if you have that configured to a sensitive enough setting. Regards, Robert Kisteleki RIPE NCC

Is there a problem with ctr-ams07 right now?
by Max Mühlbronner 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

Hi, my probe is online (ping) and it shows SOS messages (reboots - This probe probably last rebooted on 2017-07-06 12:23:08) on the probe page. Disconnected since 59 minutes. Is this a general problem, e.g. of the controller or is it just my probe? Does someone see similar problems right now? BR Max M.

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC has a new way to dive deep into a topic without having to travel or leave your desk. RIPE NCC::Educa are free, online learning events that bring industry experts together to share insight, expertise and best practice with those that want more in-depth knowledge on a particular subject. Our first event focuses on RIPE Atlas on Thursday, 5 October from 8:00 - 13:00 UTC. Reserve your place here: https://www.ripe.net/support/training/ripe-ncc-educa <https://www.ripe.net/support/training/ripe-ncc-educa> You can join us for one session, multiple sessions or the full programme.

Sharing Credits seems broken .....
by Barry Raveendran Greene 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

Hi Team, We have a problem with the sharing credits. I’ve got plenty of credits on my account. I’ve granted access to my colleague (Jim Gilbert) and a test group account (atlas-network(a)akamai.com). Just to be clear, it states: Sharing Access - If you don’t want to set limits on the number of credits you share, you can also allow other RIPE Atlas users to use your credits directly for their own measurements. Select the “Share Access” tab on your credits page and enter the RIPE Atlas users you want to give access to. Users who have been given access to others’ credits will be able to choose whose account to charge when they create a new measurement from a drop-down menu. This option can also be set via the measurement API. A running measurement can be stopped by both you and the person with access to your credits. If you decide to stop giving someone else access to your credits, any measurements they have running will start using their own credits instead. This means I should be able to log into atlas-network(a)akamai.com select “bgreene(a)senki.xn--org-9o0a and create/run test. Correct???? This is what I get: What are we missing? Barry

Hi, For the traceroute results there is a icon at the right side where you can get the complete traceroute. (View Latest Result) This is beautifully presented. Could we please have a similar icon for DNS results? Thanks, Dave Boonstra

measurement UI on 12hour clock?
by Rene Wilhelm 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

See attached screenshot. I created a couple of measurements which were to start at 16:05 local time, 14:05 UTC. The measurement page https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements however states a start time of 22-08-2017 02:05 UTC which is of course 12 hours in the past and had me worried for a bit I made a mistake filling in the form. Can this be fixed? it is confusing and looks a bit clumsy :) -- Rene

[rfc-editor@rfc-editor.org: RFC 8193 on Information Model for Large-Scale Measurement Platforms (LMAPs)]
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

This recent RFC on the data model for Internet measurements platform is of course of interest for RIPE Atlas. Note that their model separates controller and collector, which are one in Atlas.
