New RIPE Atlas Traceroute Visualisation Tool
Hello Atlas friends, Recently we have been working on a new traceroute visualisation tool, and although we are still in early development, we wanted to release this version to the community to solicit feedback and opinions about it. This will help us focus on the items that are most important to the community as we work to finish it. You can test out this new visualisation on our beta-ui site <https://beta-ui.atlas.ripe.net/>, from any traceroute measurement detail page. Just look for the "TRACEVIS" link at the top of the page and click to access it. There is a labs article that describes the tool in some detail: https://labs.ripe.net/author/stephen_suess_1/new-prototype-ripe-atlas-tracer... As always, we hope you find these features useful and we encourage your feedback. Kind regards, Stephen RIPE Atlas UI
Hello, It would be nice to be able to filter on RTT, to say e.g. only show results above a certain RTT, e.g. only show traceroutes exceeding 70ms for example. - Lucas

Hi Lucas, Nice suggestion, we just went ahead and implemented it. The filter is added to ASN/IP filter box, you can now enter things like: rtt>50 rtt<300 rtt:50-200 And it will filter the results based on the rtt values. We will be refining the design and layout of the controls at the top of the visualisation in the coming days, but for now the functionality is here. Kind regards, Stephen RIPE Atlas UI

Thanks for the feedback Ernst. We are doing a lot of tweaking and testing to make the scaling and zooming of labels and nodes look good on all platforms, this should improve over the coming days. Kind regards, Stephen

Had a quick look.
The dots indicating hops are really small. On my iPad touching them is hit and miss.

Hello again, Just an update for you regarding this, we have made many improvements and changes over the past week, thank you to those who provided feedback: Improved ASN visualisation, branching logic, and country matching Improved labelling and zoom and adaptive scaling Organised toolbar with new functions (count, rtt range filter, zoom controls, fullscreen, target toggle, etc) Merged paths show multiple hops (clickable to pin path traceroute info) Time Travel URL sharing with most params Renamed from TraceVis to Khipu (for legal reasons and because we think it bears a visual resemblance to the record keeping devices of the Inca) Various bug fixes related to display and data The labs article has likewise been updated to reflect these changes: https://labs.ripe.net/author/stephen_suess_1/khipu-prototype-ripe-atlas-trac... This is still in development and your feedback and suggestions are very welcome. Kind regards, Stephen RIPE Atlas UI
