New on RIPE Labs: 240/4 As Seen by RIPE Atlas
by Qasim Lone 23 Aug '22

23 Aug '22

Dear colleagues, In this new article on RIPE Labs, we use data from RIPE Atlas probes to investigate the usage of 240/4, a block of IPv4 addresses 'reserved for future use' and formally known as Class E in the wild. https://labs.ripe.net/author/qasim-lone/2404-as-seen-by-ripe-atlas/ Kind regards, Qasim

Re: [atlas] My experiences with a SW probe…
by Michel Stam 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

Hey Ernst, Thanks for your email. Regarding the busybox implementation, there’s history here. As I understand it, the first probes were implemented on a system without a memory management unit. This created the problem that starting and restarting processes caused memory fragmentation. That lead to the system running out of memory, which is why an approach was chosen with a multi-call binary: Only one program loaded into memory, and busybox already was implemented and available on the system. Of course, since the version 3 probes (the TPLINK), there is no need anymore. There is a memory management unit taking care of this. However, the code was retained because it was already implemented. Later on, the decision was made to offer an installable software probe package for regular Linux systems, which is in essence the same code running on the hardware probes, which brings us to today. Today you find busybox even on regular Linux systems, but then typically in the initrd environment, prior to the system booting from the root filesystem. We’re currently refactoring parts of the probes to make things easier to maintain. This may mean, without guaranteeing it, that this can change in the future. Why ATLAS starts properly using /etc/init.d and not on boot, I cannot say. It can be as simple as the networking not being available or a race condition. I would suggest to touch base with the author of this code and ask? The debate whether a Windows version would be beneficial is something that we should have with a wider audience, and should cover such topics as 24/7 availability, usability and convenience for the user. I merely want to point out that the engineering effort may be significant. If other people would like to weigh in on this matter, that would be welcome. Will keep you posted.

When I had a look at the SW probe after installation I indeed wondered what the heck was going on with a busybox binary, which in embedded Linux environments and in small Linux distributions such as Alpine, has its place.

Also I noticed that the traceroute results of the SW probe are around 1 ms. higher in the first hop, due to the probe running in a virtual machine. Both issues are not a big deal. What I meant more is that the amount of people willing to install the probe, if a Windows service would be available, would be potentially much, much larger.

My experiences with a SW probe…
by Ernst J. Oud 05 Jul '22

05 Jul '22

Don’t know whether this is the place to share experiences but … I installed a SW probe in Docker for Windows (the Alpine version). Turns out traceroute doesn’t work in that setup. So I installed VMware player on that PC (the latest version can coexist with Hyper-V which Docker requires) and CentOS and the binary of the probe. Of which the instructions on the Ripe Atlas site doesn’t work in the last step (yum complains no package atlasswprobe found in the repo). Manual download and install did work however. Hurrah. Turns out traceroute in that setup only works with VMware in bridged network mode. Fine. But… all my bandwidth tests on that same box suddenly showed strange impacts… so either a working probe and accept incorrect bandwidth tests (using Ookla SpeedTest) or find another solution. Apparently the bridge in VMware and Windows on the same physical Ethernet port influence each other. Tried the probe on OpenWRT on a small router. Works fine but I don’t want to dedicate this router to just probe work. Also the ATLAS service from init.d refuses to run the telnetd daemon at startup. Weird. So installed VMware on a separate Windows 10 headless box (Minix Z83) that I had spare with CentOS and the binary. Runs fine. Finally. Will kill the other two probes once I am convinced it now finally works. Thanks Ripe for this excellent tool! A Windows version would help however :-) Regards, Ernst

Connectivity Issue - Software Probe ID 1002750
by Thomas Kessler 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

Hi there, a software probe of mine - ID 1002750 - has stop working about 30 days ago and I seem not to be able to get it to connect again. tcpdump shows plenty of communication between the probe and reg03 / reg04.atlas.ripe.net. As well, the probe sending SOS DNS queries but neither seem to have any effect. RIPE Atlas Console shows the probe as being descended and the SOS DNS queries are not reported there either. I've check the probes registered public key and there should be no issue. Any ideas? Best regards Thomas

Overuse of software probes
by Ponikierski, Grzegorz 30 Jun '22

30 Jun '22

Hello all! Software probes is great improvement for Atlas environment and it made deployments so much easier and more scalable. One of my probes is also software probe on Raspberry Pi. However, me and my team noticed that sometimes software probes are overused and make measurements more cumbersome to interpret. For example we found that there 4 software probes in AWS Johannesburg [1] and 15 software probes in Hostinger Sao Paulo [2]. That's total overkill. These 15 probes in Hostinger Sao Paulo is 21% of all connected probes in Brazil. All of them delivers practically the same results so without additional data filtering (which is not easy) they can dramatically skew final results for Brazil. With this I would like to open discussion how to handle this situation. Please share your thoughts about these questions: * How can we standardize data filtering for such case? * How to proactively and automatically detect overuse of probes? * How can we encourage software probes hosts to avoid deployments in data centers which are already covered by Atlas? * How to give incentives to deploy probes in data centers without existing probes?

Probe on OpenWRT does not load telnetd
by Ernst J. Oud 30 Jun '22

30 Jun '22

Just a tip for OpenWRT users. I noticed that during most reboots my new SW probe on OpenWRT 21.02 does not load the telnetd daemon. No idea why but I saw that its priority in init.d is rather high (S30), i.e. it loads rather early. Perhaps that is the problem but instead I test for telnetd running in the ATLAS loop and load the daemon if not. Regards, Ernst J. Oud Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst J.

RIPE Atlas Quarterly Planning Q3 2022
by Robert Kisteleki 30 Jun '22

30 Jun '22

Dear colleagues, The quarterly plans for RIPE Atlas can now be found at: https://www.ripe.net/support/documentation/quarterly-planning/ripe-atlas In this quarter, we will continue with the development of the v5 RIPE Atlas hardware probes among other items as well as start working on two proposals to implement general availability of HTTP measurements and restricting the ability to schedule "non-public measurements". The goal of our quarterly planning is to communicate the work we’re doing for the coming months, get your input and start a discussion on other developments we should work on. If you have any input on our plans or want to let us know what you would like to see us work on, please let us know. Kind regards, Robert Kisteleki Research and Development Manager RIPE NCC

Assigned AS vs. Advertising AS
by ripe.net＠toppas.net 29 Jun '22

29 Jun '22

Hi Everyone, worldwide, there are a lot of IP prefixes which are not advertised by the owner AS. Instead, another AS announces the prefix on behalf of the owner. For example: Amazon allows you to announce your prefix via AWS. For other people, this can lead to misassumptions (assuming a wrong IP owner). https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2018/10/announcing-the-general-a… Another example would be a multi ASN company which announces all prefixes from a single ASN via BGP, even though the prefixes are assigned to various AS numbers. Since the RIRs do have the information, to which AS a specific prefix is assigned to, i would like to ask for more transparency. I would appreciate, if we could see more details here, and even more important: filter for such criterias when creating a new measurement. Anyone else here, who thinks that's useful? BR, Simon

DNS issues
by Phillip Remaker 29 Jun '22

29 Jun '22

I have installed a probe (/14226) at a rural fixed wireless location which has had intermittent issues from the carrier (AT&T). I got the tag about a DNS issue (Doesn't Resolve A, DNS Problem Suspected). Is it possible to get logs for when the DNS issue happened so I can take it up with the carrier? Also, when does the DNS problem tage clear? Thanks!
