Hitech Service LLC (Kiev, Ukraine) has joined RIPE Atlas Anchors
by Alastair Strachan 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Dear RIPE Atlas users, We're happy to announce that another RIPE Atlas anchor has joined the network and is now available as a target for probe hosts conducting their own user-defined measurements. The new anchor is called ua-iev-as29632 and it is hosted by Hitech Service LLC in Kiev, Ukraine). Anchoring measurements (ping, ping6, traceroute and traceroute6) are scheduled towards this anchor from all the other anchors as well as several hundred probes, providing a continual overview of regional reachability. Results of these measurements are available as raw data in JSON format, and visualised on the map and "seismograph" with many configurable features. You can access the anchoring measurements for all anchors at: https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/list/ <https://atlas.ripe.net/anchors/list/> Learn more about RIPE Atlas anchors at: https://atlas.ripe.net/about/anchors/ <https://atlas.ripe.net/about/anchors/> Thank you for participating in RIPE Atlas!

Proposal for public HTTP measurements
by Robert Kisteleki 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

Dear RIPE Atlas users, The topic of publicly available HTTP measurements in RIPE Atlas comes up from time to time. There were a number of discussions about pros and cons for this feature over the years (including exposing probe hosts to unnecessary risks of other users "measuring" just about any kind of HTTP content out there), with no firm outcome. While we understand that this feature would come handy for some of our users, it does not benefit everyone. Therefore our proposal is the following: 1. We'll enable HTTP measurements to be performed by all atlas users, from any probes. 2. The targets of such measurements can only be RIPE Atlas anchors (these already run HTTP servers, see https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/anchors/) 3. Parameters like costs, minimum frequency, maximum number of probes involved, etc. will be set by the development team, just as with the other measurements. 4. The RIPE NCC will still be able to support other, vetted HTTP measurements as long as it benefits the community, as well as other HTTP measurements that we deem operationally useful. These will be evaluated on a case by case basis. Please speak up at the MAT working group list (mat-wg(a)ripe.net) if you support / don't support this proposal, of if you have any other opinion about it. Regards, Robert Kisteleki RIPE NCC R&D manager, for the RIPE Atlas team

You can do it by searching for “worldwide” (there is autosuggestion) and the widget will ask the number of probes and the tags you want to use. The number of probes is suggested and bounded according to the maximum number of probes selectable for the measurement. The idea is that whatever you write in the text field, it will try to help/guide you creating the valid (and, if needed, complex) selection you were looking for. E.g. you can do a combination by searching for “Canada ipv6” to select all the ipv6 probes in Canada Of course it can be improved, so let us know if you have other feedback! Best regards, Massimo > It would be nice to have a textual alternative as my > browser gets incredibly slow when showing all the probes on the map. > > > >

Deprecating the old measurement UI
by Robert Kisteleki 09 Jan '15

09 Jan '15

Dear all, In October last year, we introduced a new UI for browsing and scheduling measurements. For details, see: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ripe-atlas-new-measurem… Your feedback about this was predominantly positive, and we’d like to thank everyone who helped this development with suggestions and bug reports. As stated at the time, we plan to deprecate and eventually remove the old interface (both the UI and the "API" it used). Our timeline is the following: 1. We'll make the new UI the default, and remove links to the old UI from the RIPE Atlas main menu, around 21 January. The old pages will still be accessible if one reaches them from somewhere else, such as a browser bookmark or hard-coded scripts. 2. Around the beginning of March, we'll remove the old pages from the system (/atlas/udm.html and related pages). This step will include the "deep links" that some of our users directly access to schedule and manage measurements from scripts (notably /atlas/*udm*.json). We'd like to encourage all of our users to switch to the new UI and API in the following weeks, if you haven't already done so. As always, we're happy to answer any questions or hear any feedback you might have. Regards, Robert Kisteleki, for the RIPE Atlas team

Coming soon: RIPE Atlas data visualization hackathon!
by Vesna Manojlovic 08 Jan '15

08 Jan '15

Dear all, we are happy to invite you to the first RIPE Atlas open data hackathon! In short: various groups will come together during the long weekend in Amsterdam, to make new visualisations (or modify existing ones) based on RIPE Atlas data, and to give that SW back to the community. We are inviting: programers, designers, operators, data-lovers, hackers, students... help us spread the word! Comcast is generously offering prizes and some coverage for travel expenses for several people -- to be awarded/selected by a jury. Dates: 27-28-29 March 2015 (Friday to Sunday) How to apply: https://www.ripe.net/s/XUJy More information, as always, in the RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ripe-atlas-hackathon-20… Hope to see you there! Regards, Vesna

Hi All! I know is in Beta, but only say when I try to submit[ok button] a Geolocation of a IP/Hostname, it keeps "loading" forever. Should I use any special set of code? Im trying City,Province,XX (XX = Country Code, in my case: ES) Thanks in advance! --Daniel
