'limit' filed in the probe API metadata
by Eravuchira, Steffie Jacob 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hello, In the REST API for RIPE Atlas probes [1], there is a metadata "limit" to set the number of items displayed in the API [2]. Previously I have used the "limit" field to get the details of all the registered probes (by specifying limit as the value in the field "total_count" in metadata) at once using this API. Now the API works well with values of "limit" up to 100. But for any value greater than 100, the limit is automatically set to 100. Could anyone help me understand why this could happen and how I can access the details of all the RIPE Atlas registered probes? [1] https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe [2] https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?limit=n Thank you in advance for the help. Regards, Steffie _________________________________________________________ Steffie Jacob Eravuchira Research I, Room 91 Computer Networks and Distributed Systems (CNDS) Lab School of Engineering and Sciences Jacobs University Bremen, Germany

DigitalOcean (SG) has joined RIPE Atlas anchors
by Michela Galante 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Dear RIPE Atlas users, We're happy to announce that another RIPE Atlas anchor joined the network and is now available as a target for probe hosts conducting their own user-defined measurements. The new anchor is called sg-sin-as133165 and it is hosted by DigitalOcean in Singapore City, Singapore. Congratulations to DigitalOcean for their third anchor online! 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, Measurements Community Building Team RIPE NCC mcb(a)ripe.net

The Beta Version of the New DNSMON is Now Available
by Vesna Manojlovic 08 Sep '14

08 Sep '14

Dear colleagues, The DNS Monitoring Service (DNSMON) has been providing a comprehensive, objective and up-to-date overview of the quality of various global and regional DNS operators' services since 2003. We are in the process of integrating DNSMON within RIPE Atlas and the beta version of the new DNSMON is now publicly available: https://atlas.ripe.net/dnsmon We have also published a RIPE Labs article detailing what’s changed in the new DNSMON: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/fatemah_mafi/an-updated-dns-monitoring-service We invite you all to try the new service and provide your feedback. We’re confident that the new DNSMON will continue to meet your needs and hope that you'll be happy with the new features. Please send your comments and questions to the DNS Working Group Mailing List at dns-wg(a)ripe.net. Kind regards, Vesna Manojlovic Measurements Community Building RIPE NCC

Probe on a /31 or /32 IPv4 network
by Baptiste Jonglez 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hi, We would like to deploy our Atlas probe on a separate L2 network, but without having to spend 4 IPv4 addresses (i.e. a /30 network). Using a /31 would be nice, but the web UI doesn't allow it as static IPv4 configuration ("The Gateway address should be different from the ending network address"). Would it be possible to allow /31 in the web UI? I believe the probes themselves support it. Even nicer would be support for /32 networks, even though it is perhaps less usual. This can easily be done with iproute2 on Linux, assuming the probe is 192.0.2.48/32 and its gateway is 192.0.2.1: ip addr add 192.0.2.48/32 dev eth0 ip route add 192.0.2.1/32 dev eth0 ip route add default via 192.0.2.1 or even shorter: ip addr add 192.0.2.48/32 dev eth0 ip route add default via 192.0.2.1 onlink dev eth0 Using a gateway that is not on the same subnet doesn't sound very nice, but again, the goal is to avoid wasting precious IPv4 space. Thanks, Baptiste

measurment with endtime - faulty date
by gboonie 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hi, I noticed the last few days that when I create a new measurement with a end date and time next week that I get a failure message on the next screen. --- Your measurement will start ASAP. Your measurement will end at: Y-8-16 0:i UTC. and in the next screen: Enter a valid date/time. --- What I selected was: 2014-08-16 00:45 Multiple tests on 2 different Win7 PCs give the same result. Regards, Dave

atlas on a public subnet
by James Sink 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Hello all, I just received my atlas probe and am about to deploy it. However I have a question about the subnet I am going to place it it on. Is it safe to put it on an unfiltered public ip? If not what ACL should I place on the interface? Thanks --- James Sink Network Engineer P: 800-477-1477 x: 813
