Probe for mobile network
by Evgeniy Sudyr 25 Aug '18

25 Aug '18

We have developed mobile application and we are interesting for making measurements from our customer''s networks using ripe atlas probes. I found no probes from interesting ASN, that's why I'm looking for a way to host own probes (we do have already) and connect it to interesting MNO networks using some USB sticks or even mobile phones (to use as 3G / LTE modem). Obviously we want to make less points of failure in between RIPE probe and mobile modem. Any luck to get USB sticks working with RIPE probe without some router in between? -- With regards, Eugene Sudyr

Hello, We're looking for a contact in the RIPE Atlas context from AS8560 (oneandone.net). There's a (probably runaway) script hammering our gates. Thank you, Robert Kisteleki for the RIPE Atlas team

Failled to get traceroute results from the id 5151
by BELLAFKIH hayat 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

Hi all, I am trying to get traceroute results for the measurements id 5151 ( https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/5151/) by using python module : Python client for RIPE ATLAS API, for period october 2016. For many days ( eg : 19, 20) in this period, the operation is failled. I got Killed ! I found that the reason of having Killed when running a python script is related to the ressources limits. Any helps? *Hayat BELLAFKIH*

Probe limit per measurement
by Schomp, Kyle 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

Hi all, I'm trying to use Ripe Atlas for monitoring a production system. I've hit the 1k maximum probes per measurement limit, however. I realize I could just split up the task among multiple measurements to stay under the 1k probes max, but that seems sort of hack-ish and possibly less efficient for the platform. Is it possible to get the limits increased? Thanks! -kyle

Processing RIPE Atlas data as Big Data
by BELLAFKIH hayat 24 Jul '18

24 Jul '18

Dear RIPE Atlas users, I am studying the processing of the data collected by the probes as a Big Data problem. For instance, one hour of traceroute data count for 500 Mo (bzip2), so 7 Go of data in text format. Can you share with me how you deal with these data in practice. are you using a super machine, Big Data tools? best regards, Hayat

Looking for advise and temporarily limits increment for research
by Yihao Jia 22 Jul '18

22 Jul '18

To whom it may help, My name is Yihao. I am a Ph.D. student. Recently I am doing a research with RIPE Atlas. However, my research requires many measurements in a short period, which breaks several rules of the Rate Limits. Since I really like and in hurry to use Atlas to support my research, is there any advice I can get from this? I'd like to describe why it would be necessary for my research. And if possible, may I get a temporarily limit increment for 10 days? Many thanks, Yihao Jia

"interval" is documented as "In normal (not one-off) measurements, this value represents the number of seconds between measurements by a single probe." I never tried "spread". I don't know the exact JSON you sent but this one worked (5 minutes, 1 minute between each test): {'definitions': [{'target': 'fr-ilm-as57119.anchors.atlas.ripe.net', 'af': 4, 'interval': 60, 'packets': 1, 'type': 'ping', 'description': 'Ping fr-ilm-as57119.anchors.atlas.ripe.net'}], 'start_time': 1532026200, 'stop_time': 1532026500, 'probes': [{'requested': 1, 'type': 'area', 'value': 'WW'}]} And it gave this measurement: https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/15297080/

Inquiry: RIPE Atlas credits M Fung
by Matthew Fung 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Hello, My name is Matthew, I am an undergrad studying CS at University of British Columbia. I've recently discovered the work done by RIPE and I'm really interested in using Atlas for a research project. I am wondering if anyone is willing to share credits in order to make this possible. I aim to use no more than 1M credits. (My user info is included below) Thanks, Matthew Fung RIPE ID: y6c0b(a)ugrad.cs.ubc.ca

Global Traceroute
by Steve Gibbard 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

I wrote front-end to traceroute from the RIPE Atlas probes. It looks like a standard looking glass — you select a probe by location and AS number, enter a destination, and it does a traceroute. It’s on the web at https://www.globaltraceroute.com. If this looks useful, please check it out and tell me what you think. One of the things I've found frustrating when troubleshooting routing problems was the lack of information about inbound paths. Various measurement systems would tell me when performance was bad. Traceroutes from my own network would tell me what path traffic to a destination was taking outbound. Flow systems would tell me what interface inbound traffic was coming in on, and sometimes what peer it was coming through. But determining the full path inbound traffic was taking — why users of some ISP in Asia were having their traffic show up at one of my POPs in Europe, for instance, was much more difficult. I’ve been using looking glasses and commercial performance monitoring systems that allow traceroutes from their probes, but those often weren’t where the end users were. RIPE Atlas did have probes where a lot of my end users were, so I started configuring one time measurements on RIPE Atlas whenever I needed a traceroute from a simulated end user. But finding a suitable probe and configuring the measurement was too cumbersome to do when I wasn’t pretty desperate. This is my attempt to solve that problem. Thanks, Steve

For help: launching a periodical atlas measurement
by Yihao Jia 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Dear all, I am so sorry for using a screenshot for my last email. And I'd like to redescribe the problem I have. I'd like to launch a periodic Ping measurement (with python). It starts at UTC-now to (for example) 5 minutes later. I'd like the probe do the Ping test in every 1 minute. Thus I can have 5 results in this measurement. I am a little confused because all example on documents is one-off. I guess error might happen around "is_oneoff", "interval", "spread". source code for this test is below and in the attachment. Could you help me in checking where I get wrong? Many thanks, Yihao ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- from datetime import datetime, timedelta from ripe.atlas.cousteau import ( Ping, AtlasSource, AtlasCreateRequest ) ATLAS_API_KEY = "" source2 = AtlasSource( requested=1, type="probes", value="35704" ) ping = Ping( af=4, target="202.112.51.179", description="Test for periodic Ping test", packets=1, ) def request(): atlas_request = AtlasCreateRequest( start_time=datetime.utcnow(), stop_time=(datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(minutes=5)), key=ATLAS_API_KEY, measurements=[ping], sources=[source2], is_oneoff=False, interval=60, spread=60 ) (is_success, response) = atlas_request.create() return is_success, response if __name__ == '__main__': is_success, response = request()
