Hey all, As Mirjam announced a few days ago, RIPE NCC debuted their RIPEstat toolbox this morning: <http://stat.ripe.net/> RIPEstat is naturally in a very early state of development, and community feedback is going to be critical for figuring out how it matures, what new features get added, etc. So I thought I would start a thread where people could post any comments they have on the RIPEstat beta. To start, here are my comments: -- Overall, I think the tool is pretty well designed. The interface is very simple, and the results clearly presented. I like that different types of results are displayed in content-appropriate formats (table vs. pie-chart vs. bar-graph). -- The purely text-based interface might be -- I would appreciate it if the sources of metrics could be more clearly identified. For example, it's a little hard to interpret BGP data if you don't know where it's being collected. The "methodology" links on REX did a good job of explaining this sort of thing, so maybe they could be ported over to the new tool? -- In a similar vein, I notice that the time span for things like the stability graphs is fixed. Would be nice to have it adjustable, like in REX. -- It would be really cool if I could download the underlying data whenever there's a chart presented. Seems like that these little micro-data-sets could be cached along with the rest of the results. What does everyone else think? Best, --Richard
