Invalid results in TraceMON tool
by Andreas Siskos 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

Hello everyone, I am an undergraduate student at University of Crete and as a part of my bachelor thesis, I am trying to integrate TraceMON in a website. I used the example code that it was provided by the web page of TraceMON in RIPE Atlas website ( https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/tools-tracemon/#embed), but I noticed something unexpected. The graph of the TraceMON was not taking the same path as the raw data of traceroutes. There were the right destinations/IPs, but in shuffled order. Let's consider the example of measurement ID 26813196. As you can see, in the raw data of the traceroute ( https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/measurements/26813196/results/), it reaches the target IP (103.83.160.1) at 16th hop from probe 55564. When I checked the graph in TraceMON on the RIPE Atlas website ( https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/26813196/#!tracemon) (see attached: general.png), the traceroute from probe 55564 was represented in the picture graph.png. As you can see in the data file data.png, the destination IP was reached at 3rd hop instead of 16th, that was in the raw data of the traceroute. The same behavior can be observed for the probes 19648 and 32788. Am I missing something? Thank you in advance, Andreas Siskos

How can I reduce data usage on remote satellite-connected islands?
by chris＠gare.co.uk 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

Hello all, I've just become an ambassador for the RIPE Atlas programme. I have a question. I wish to deploy a number of probes to remote low-capacity satellite connected islands. These islands have strict and VERY expensive monthly usage quotas. Looking at some probes already installed, I see that the minimum bandwidth (is that the term used?) is approximately 3.3kbit/s This equates to around 1GB of data per month which represent a significant percentage of a consumer's monthly quota. I'll have a hard job convincing volunteers to act as hosts if they consume that much. Is there a way I can set 'bandwidth' to less than 10kbs or is there a workaround I can use to reduce this under my control? It has been suggested that I could out a timer on the host but that is nonworkable! Any help would be appreciated as I know that reachability is quite unreliable at times and the data I could provide would be most interesting. Chris

Extreme slowness today?

23 minutes before Atlas tells me there is no suitable probes with my criteria (country=SD, which does not surprise me). Same slowness for all measurements.

Software vs Hardware probes

Posting to the list hoping somebody has already found the answer :) Is there a way to filter by probe architecture, or perhaps software vs hardware probes? Marty

Disabling TLS 1.0 and 1.1 on RIPE Atlas anchors
by Robert Kisteleki 01 Sep '20

01 Sep '20

Dear RIPE Atlas users, We received reports that the availability of TLS 1.0 and 1.1 on RIPE Atlas anchors triggers some security alarms for some anchor hosts. Since the anchors don't host anything sensitive, and the measurment code is not expected to be affected by this, we will stop supporting these protocols on the anchors (*) as of *1 September*. We'll carry on with supporting TLS 1.2 (*) the RIPE Atlas website/UI will be unchanged for the time being although we expect similar changes in the near future Regards, Robert Kisteleki RIPE NCC
