Requesting Credits for Research
by Alex Gamero-Garrido 29 Jul '23

29 Jul '23

Hi folks, My name is Alexander Gamero-Garrido and I'm a 5th year PhD student at CAIDA, UC San Diego. We're soon launching a large traceroute campaign for research and could use your generous donation of credits. We'll need about 150 million credits, but any partial amount that gets us closer to that goal is welcome and greatly appreciated. My account is agamerog at eng.ucsd.edu Thank you, Alex -- *Alex Gamero-Garrido* *PhD Student, Computer Science* Web: cseweb.ucsd.edu/~agamerog Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) San Diego Supercomputer Center UC San Diego Pronouns: He/Him/His <https://inboxwhenready.org/?utm_campaign=signature&utm_medium=email&utm_sou…> I'm using Inbox When Ready <https://inboxwhenready.org/?utm_campaign=signature&utm_medium=email&utm_sou…> to protect my focus.

Probe DHCPv6 support
by Aleksi Pirttimaa 19 May '23

19 May '23

Hi! I recently received my v4 probe and I'm very happy with it. But unfortunately it doesn't support DHCPv6. I present a practical reason for implementing a DHCPv6 client on the probe. You see, my ISP doesn't send router advertisements with the prefix for stateless autoconfiguration set, and instead DHCPv6 must be used. I believe their decision could have something to do with the fact that the regulating body here requires ISP's to prevent IP address spoofing in consumer plans. And to meet that requirement my ISP may be using a feature similar to Cisco's IP source guard, where switch ports and/or mac addresses are passively associated to leased ip's or prefixes, breaking SLAAC. Unfortunately they hate letting consumers talk with their engineers so it's difficult to speculate this further. For now, I've put a stateful firewall appliance in front of the probe which provides SLAAC, it works just fine. Do you think a DHCPv6 client should be implemented?

Request for credits for research
by Mohan, Nitinder 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

Dear RIPE community, I hope you are all safe and sound. I am a Postdoctoral fellow at the Technical University of Munich, Germany. We are currently working on an ongoing research project which aims to analyze the availability and reachability of cloud data centers globally. The first work of our work will appear in ACM HotNets 2020 titled "Pruning Edge Research with Latency Shears" (http://conferences.sigcomm.org/hotnets/2020/program.html). We are currently preparing the camera-ready version of the paper and will share it with the community by hosting it (and the associated dataset) publicly soon. We are currently planing to submit the second leg of our work to a conference with submission deadline a month. In order to complete all set of measurements for required analysis, we are scheduling very large-scale measurements over the platform which has burned through almost all our credits and left us in need. I have always found the RIPE Atlas community to be helpful and generous towards research and I am hoping that you could support our research by donating us some of your spare credits. Your help will be highly appreciated. My RIPE account is nitinder.mohan(a)helsinki.fi Thanks and Regards Nitinder Mohan Postdoctoral Fellow Technical University of Munich, Germany <http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/nmohan/>https://www.nitindermohan.com/

List of (scientific) publications using RIPE Atlas
by Moritz Muller 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

Hi everyone, A follow up to last week’s Atlas Open House: One of the speakers mentioned that the Wikipedia page of RIPE Atlas [1] lists a number of publications that made use of RIPE Atlas. This list is incomplete and I was wondering if there’s a page somewhere, maybe provided by RIPE NCC, where researchers can submit and list work that used Atlas in some way. This could give beginning researchers and students some inspiration. Maybe this page could also provide links to the measurements themselves for transparency. - Moritz [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIPE_Atlas

RIPE Atlas outage this evening
by Robert Kisteleki 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

Dear colleagues, Due to an internal misconfiguration, RIPE Atlas was unavailable between approximately 1:00-9:00 (UTC+1) this morning. This affected the UI, APIs, some internal tasks, and the scheduling of new measurements. Ongoing measurements were not affected. Our team is analysing the root cause and will take steps to prevent this issue from re-occurring. Regards, Robert Kisteleki RIPE NCC
