New: Atlas resource coverage (and more maps!) beta
Dear Atlas Users, Today we enabled another interesting feature (in beta mode, for now): details about what networks Atlas covers at the moment. This feature lists IPv4/IPv6 prefixes, ASNs and countries. This information will also be used for User Defined Measurements, in order to filter vantage points to specific networks or locations. You can access this at https://atlas.ripe.net/atlas/coverage.html Background information: * the prefixes and ASNs are looked up in RIS, based on the address of the probe * the country code is looked up in OpenStreetMaps based on the probe geolocation We are aware that in some cases the lookup has a surprising result. One example is 6to4: for IPv6 related ASNs the prefix is 2002::/16 but the ASN can be misleading. We'll most likely stop looking up ASNs for 6to4 (and Teredo) prefixes. If you see anomalies *not* related to this, you can let us know at atlas-dev@ripe.net Regards, Robert, for the whole team
Might be nice to have some summary statistics, e.g.: According to today's data, Atlas probes are present in... - 1.6% of IPv4 ASNs - 4.2% of IPv6 ASNs - 0.17% of IPv4 prefixes (covering 45% of the address space) - 2.3% of IPv6 prefixes - 91 countries On Dec 15, 2011, at 6:33 AM, Robert Kisteleki wrote:

Indeed. We're thinking about creating a statistics page that can contain this and some other interesting data. Robert
