NSID option on the RIPE Atlas SOA measurements of the root servers
by Chris Amin 24 Jul '17

24 Jul '17

Dear colleagues, RIPE Atlas is currently running a series of DNS SOA built-in measurements* towards all of the root servers from all probes. During the recent DNS measurements hackathon** it became apparent that for some use cases it would be useful to have SOA queries from all probes with the NSID EDNS option set, in order to be able to match up responses with the particular responding instances in an anycasted (or load balanced) setup. We would like to ask for feedback on two alternative options for implementing this change. They are: 1) Enable the NSID option for the existing built-in measurements towards the nine root servers which support it. 2) Start a new set of built-in measurements towards the nine root servers which support NSID. The advantages of option (1) are that it will be possible to compare and contrast the two sets of results, and that historical data for the existing built-ins will remain consistent with the current results. A very simple analysis shows that there is no overall increase in query error rates through enabling NSID, but there are bound to be individual marginal cases where queries fail or produce different results with NSID set but succeed without it. The advantages of option (2) are that there will be no increase in result storage usage -- the current IPv4+IPv6 UDP SOA built-ins towards the nine supporting root servers adds up to about 80 results per second (~1.5% of the total results in the system). This could potentially be mitigated by reducing the frequency for these new measurements, but perhaps more important than the slightly increased load is the potential user confusion caused by generating and providing two very similar sets of measurements. Please let us know if you have any preference for which way we go on this, particularly if you have a (current or future) use case for this kind of data. Kind regards, Chris Amin RIPE NCC * https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/built-in/ ** https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/results-dns-measurements-hackathon

Fwd: [AfrICANN-discuss] AFRICOMM2017: Call for papers on Internet measurements
by Amreesh Phokeer 03 Jul '17

03 Jul '17

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Amreesh Phokeer <amreesh(a)afrinic.net> Date: Mon, Jul 3, 2017 at 12:17 PM Subject: Fwd: [AfrICANN-discuss] AFRICOMM2017: Call for papers on Internet measurements To: maprg(a)ietf.org Cc: nmrg(a)ietf.org {apologies for cross-posting} *{please circulate}* *Call for Papers* Workshop on Internet Measurements Research in Africa <http://africommconference.org/2017/show/IMRA> Internet measurements provide useful insights into the accessibility of the Internet (e.g. coverage of WiFi and cellular networks), performance (e.g. Internet throughput and latency) and Internet usage. Internet development campaigners, national regulators, and policy makers in the developing regions are recognising the crucial role that Internet measurement data can play in facilitating evidence-based policy-making and regulation. While the Internet ecosystem comprises a diversity of stakeholders and service providers, it is difficult for any single stakeholder to access all of Internet topology data without the cooperation of the rest of the Internet community. For this reason, appropriate acquisition of Internet data requires a variety of cooperative research methods, including wide distribution of Internet probes for technical measurements, located in diverse locations and networks, as well as region-specific techniques and demand-side surveys on Internet access and usage. The aim of the workshop is to facilitate discussions around mechanisms and challenges of measuring Africa’s Internet; to evaluate the breadth of Internet measurements research and to formulate strategic directions for such research in Africa; and to initiate and accelerate collaboration among Africa’s Internet measurements researchers. The workshop is calling for high-quality papers that are focused on Internet measurements research in Africa. Papers are invited on topics related to: ● End-to-end Internet performance metrics ● Internet topology characteristics, including peering and routing ● Application-level performance, including DNS, Web, CDNs, Cloud Computing ● Physical layer performance measurements, including for TVWS, WiFi, and 3G/4G ● Detection of middleboxes, censorship, and content filtering ● Data analytics for network monitoring, traffic analysis and network ● Network topology and performance visualization ● Internet access, use, and Quality of Experience (QoE) Submissions should be made electronically as PDF in the Confy system: IMRA track <http://confy.eai.eu/#conftrack-overview/conf/52446/cid/52366> . Papers will be selected through a single-blind peer-review process. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and will be published in Springer digital library. Important deadlines Submission 15 AUGUST 2017 Notification 30 AUGUST 2017 Camera-ready submission 30 OCTOBER 2017 Conference takes place 11-12 DECEMBER 2017 *Submission Guidelines and Paper Submission:* Please check the submission guidelines here: *http://africommconference.org/2017/show/initial-submission* <http://http//africommconference.org/2017/show/initial-submission> All the papers should be in English and formatted according to the Author's Kit IMRA papers should be submitted into 'IMRA track <http://confy.eai.eu/#conftrack-overview/track/1779/cid/52366>" in confy *Publications:* Accepted papers will be published in Springer's LNICST series and will appear in the SpringerLink, one of the largest digital libraries online that covers a variety of scientific disciplines, as well as in the EAI's own EU Digital Library (EUDL). LNICST volumes are submitted for inclusion to leading indexing services, including DBLP, Google Scholar, ISI Proceedings, EI Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus.

color blindness and color meaning association
by Job Snijders 28 May '17

28 May '17

Hi all, TL;DR - red/green color palettes should be avoided in data visualiations, please pick something else! Yesterday I saw Christian Teuschel present on the "Jedi" tool at SINOG, and two things stood out: A) the data visualisations do not attempt to accomodate for people who are color blind, in fact, the worst colors possible were picked B) by using using common traffic light colors (green, orange, red) an implicit judgement is made on the meaning of the data (traffic crossing an internet exchange was seemingly favored over private peering) To point (A) - red–green color blindness which affect a substantial portion of the human population. In the US, about 7 percent of the male population (or about 10.5 million men) and 0.4 percent of the female population either cannot distinguish red from green, or see red and green differently from how others do (Howard Hughes Medical Institute, 2006). There are quite some pointers as to how to design color palettes which accomodate everyone. http://www.somersault1824.com/tips-for-designing-scientific-figures-for-col… http://blog.usabilla.com/how-to-design-for-color-blindness/ B) As I understand the "Jedi" tool, it shows matrixes of what traffic between atlas probes leaves the country, and what traffic remains within the country - offering insight into a reflection on a country's internal routing arrangements. I'm a big fan of keeping local traffic local, so the tool certainly has value. However, the tool displays traffic which passes over an IXP within the country as green, and traffic that says within the country but didn't cross an IXP as "orange". Since the majority of internet traffic flows over direct, private interconnections between ASNs, signifying that traffic as "orange", has the potential to be taken as a "wrong", rather then as an arbitrary datapoint. I suggest that the Jedi tool either uses the same color for ixp and non-ixp "within country" traffic (and perhaps a small icon is used to signify the additional data attribute that an IXP was observed in the traceroute), or that the jedi tool uses entirely arbitrary colors that have no inherent meaning like the traffic light colors do. Kind regards, Job

RIPE 74 call for late submissions, LTs, and one tutorial and BoF
by Benno Overeinder 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

Dear colleagues, Brief version: The RIPE PC invites submissions for plenary, tutorial, BoF and Lightning Talks. Longer version: As distinct from previous RIPE meetings, the RIPE Programme Committee decided to keep two plenary slots open for so-called “late submission”. These plenary slots gives the community the opportunity to submit presentations that report on recent developments, issues, security incidents, etc., that are relevant to the RIPE audience. Independent from the realisation of late submissions, the PC has received a fair amount of high-quality submissions for the first deadline on March 12th. From these submissions, we have selected 14 presentations to complete the RIPE 74 plenary programme and no second CFP with a deadline in April was required. For the tutorials and BoFs we have one slot for each available: - Monday morning, 2 hour tutorial slot - evening, 1 hour BoF slot Also please consider to submit Lightning Talks for the Monday plenary. During the week of the RIPE meeting we will accept LTs for Tuesday and Friday. Please submit your plenary “late submission”, tutorial or BoF submission via the PC submission system, https://ripe74.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/. The deadline for the submissions is *April 26th*. Kind regards, Benno Overeinder RIPE PC Chair https://ripe74.ripe.net/programme/ripe-pc/ -------------------->>><<<-------------------- Call for Presentations A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field. RIPE 74 will take place from 8-12 May 2017 in Budapest, Hungary. The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 74.

For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration. Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. In general, the time allocated for the different presentation formats is as follows: - Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 5-10 minutes discussion - Tutorials: up to two hours (Monday morning) - Workshops: one hour (during evening sessions) to two hours (Monday morning) - BoFs: approximately one hour - Lightning talks: 10 minutes total for both presentation and any discussion The following general requirements apply: - Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system, https://ripe74.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/. - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe74.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) and can be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. Allocation of lightning talks will start a few days before the meeting, and will continue throughout the meeting. During the meeting, they may be announced on the day before the talk or even on the same day as the talk. - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe74.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) and can be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talks will be announced on short notice, in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the time slot allocated. - Presenters who propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. - All presentation proposals will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panellists, presenters and moderators. - Due to potential technical issues, presenters/panellists should be physically present at the RIPE Meeting. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net. -- Benno J. Overeinder NLnet Labs http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/
