peers in Brazil (Re: [ris-int] RIS meeting minutes )

As you are in touch with the Brazilians, would it be an idea to ask them to do some more, active promotion for the RIS collector we have in Sao Paulo? http://www.ris.ripe.net/peerlist/rrc15.html suggests there are only 3 peers on this collector, a rather disappointing number. -- Rene

BGP prepending beacon request
by Lorenzo Colitti 21 Apr '06

21 Apr '06

Ok, so here's what we would need to do: 0. Verify that the beacon prefixes 73.0/24 and 89.0/24 are free 1. Send email to them telling them that we will: - Use one RRC (RRC07) - Setup an IBGP peering for them on RRC07 - Relay their announcements - Point them to the software to announce their routes. 2. We ask them to write a short email describing the experiment and their announcement schedule. We tell them that if we don't like it, or if our peers complain, we have to shut the peering down. 3. If they agree, we send out the email to ris-users and our peers on RRC07. If nobody screams, we: - Open firewall for RRC07 if necessary - Configure IBGP peering on RRC07 using the config we already had for my experiments - Set up more detailed filters if necessary - Agree on dates for their experiments 4. On the agreed dates, activate peering 5. When experiment is over, shut down peering Did I miss anything?

Conf call with HK polytechnic people on prepending
by Lorenzo Colitti 21 Apr '06

21 Apr '06

Hi, I just had a conference call with Samantha Lo (student) and Rocky Chang (associate professor) from Hong Kong Polytechnic on the prepending research. This email is a status update on what we are doing and what we want to do. Comments/suggestions welcome. Current status -------------- There seems to be good communication and agreement on where to go. Today we discussed which RRCs to announce the test prefixes from. We decided that RRC07 (Stockholm), RRC10 (Milan), and RRC14 (Palo Alto) are the best candidates because they have a realistic number of upstreams and a more balanced AS graph (shown in attached PDF file). We obtain BGP data from the RIS (using my scripts) and from ORV and looking glasses (using scripts by Samantha). In total we have about 150 views of the Internet. This might further be enriched by TTM, but I don't know if I'll have time to implement that. Goals ----- - Submit a paper to IMC 2006 conference (deadline end of May). Author list might be something like Lo, Chang, and Colitti - They also want to present this at nanog in June Proposed setup -------------- Everything will be in the NCC network and under our control: - We have a machine here that peers with the 2 or 3 RRCs involved - The machine runs the Python BGP announcer I wrote and announces communities to the RRCs - The RRCs announce varying degrees of prepending to our transit peers based on the communities they receive. A route-map will be used for this purpose. Next steps ---------- - Samantha will set up a test-lab, write the route-maps and test the setup (this week) - Once we know how long that is going to take, we inform our peers that we will be doing the experiments. - Target: begin experiments soon after RIPE meeting Cheers, Lorenzo -- Lorenzo Colitti lorenzo(a)ripe.net Network Engineer +31-20-5354471 RIPE NCC www.ripe.net

RIS meeting minutes
by arife＠ripe.net 21 Apr '06

21 Apr '06

Attendees: James, Arife, Henk, Lorenzo, Francesco 1. Everyone agrees it's a good idea to have RIS data distributed over the Internet. This needs to be discuss with Andrei and get back to Simon Leinen. (AV) 2. Runing some scripts/tools Geoff has that uses RIS data. Arife will contact with Geoff to run them here. 3. RRC boxes in LACNIC region, we are happy to offer LACNIC people help how do it. There is not much point for RIS to have 7 RRCs in LACNIC area. Henk will contact with Milton. 4. RIS statistics, SED and Comms should look at how much of the statistics we produce are used. If there is no interest, we should stop spending CPU cycles. 5. Beacon request from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Lorenzo is in touch with them. He will let us know when do the configuration changes. 6. Having new RRC in NAP of Amreica is a good idea, as long as we get interested parities to peer with us. Josh Snowhorn, Terramark seems to be voluntered to do this. 7. Henk is voluntered to do RIS/TTM presentation in DE-CIX technical meeting. 8. Load on AMS-IX RRC is getting quite high with the number of peers. We should check our budget and get a new box, and share the load between two boxes. Any comments are welcome. -- Arife Vural SED, RIPE NCC

RIS Analaysis page
by Rene Wilhelm 13 Apr '06

13 Apr '06

Hi, The web page which lists external analysis done with RIS, http://www.ripe.net/ris/docs/analysis.html is very hard to locate when navigating through the RIS part of the ripe.net website. As far as I can see, the only place it is mentioned is at the bottom of the (quite lengthy) "RIS Raw data" page Can we not add a label/link to the RIS menu in the left pane? The analysis page is part of RIS PR, showing people the project also has value to the research community. It should be easy to find. As for the page itself, I'd think this line If you are using our data and have published a paper, please send us an email and you will be added to this list. better moves to the beginning of the page. It makes it more obvious to readers how to contact us for having their paper listed. Cheers, -- Rene
