Nine new RIPE Atlas anchors joined the community
Dear colleagues, We are proud to announce that nine new RIPE Atlas anchors have been activated since my previous announcement: * de-cal-as39702, S-IT Informationstechnologie Betreiber, Calw, Germany. * nz-hlz-as681, hosted by the University of Waikato, Hamilton. This is the first RIPE Atlas anchor in New Zealand! * Three anchors by DigitalOcean: uk-slo-as202109 located in Slough, United Kingdom, us-sfo-as14061 located in San Francisco, United States, & sg-sin-as133165 in Singapore City, Singapore. * de-ett-as202040, hosted by SCT Schiele GmbH in Ettlingen, Germany. * nl-ams-as3265, hosted by XS4ALL in Amsterdam, Nederland. * us-den-as7922, second anchor hosted by Comcast, this time in Denver, United States. * de-nue-as33988, hosted by teamix GmbH in Nuremberg, Germany. This brings the total number of anchors to 78. Due the summer holidays, the growth in RIPE Atlas anchors have slowed down, but we do expect a new "surge" in the last quarter of this year. You can follow the activation rate on the graph here: https://atlas.ripe.net/results/maps/network-coverage/ The map of all anchor locations: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/map/ You can access the anchoring measurements for all anchors at: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/list/ And here are the logos and links to hosting companies: https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/community/#!tab-anchor-sponsors We are still accepting new applications from individuals and organisations interested in hosting a RIPE Atlas anchor. We are particularly interested in deploying anchors in the Middle East, Western Asia, Latin America and Africa, in order to add more geographical diversity to the measurement data.

Dear Vesna, This is again me, Andrei Sukhov from Samara State Aerospace University, Russia. My presentation called "Evaluating the Effectiveness of Geographic Routing Based on RIPE Atlas Data" accepted as the sectional one to the TELFOR2014 Conference. This is regional IEEE conference, that is held in Belgrade from 25 to 27 November. Version of the paper is attached to this letter. When preparing the presentation I understood that for the measurement of efficiency of the global geographic routing it is better to use the one way delay (OWD). In the meantime, the current system only measures the round trip delay (RTT). I have a question - whether have you plans for the modernization of the system? Some points could be equipped with a GPS synchronization device. Since the previous measurement system (RIPE Test Box) such devices are much cheaper. We now try to test the accuracy of such measurements using a simple GPS/GLONASS device for time synchronization. For Russia, the mechanism of the OWD measurement is important, because the distances between settlements are significant ones, optimal geographic routing with help of regional points of traffic exchange is a very important task. It is also important to exchange domestic traffic inside the country. In order to build a monitoring system in the automatic mode, the our described method can be used. But it will be able to operate reliably for the OWD measurement. Sincerely yours, Andrei Sukhov
