RIPE Atlas is the RIPE NCC’s main Internet data collection system. It is a global network of devices, called probes and anchors, that actively measure Internet connectivity. Anyone can access this data via Internet traffic maps, streaming data visualisations, and an API. RIPE Atlas users can also perform customised measurements to gain valuable data about their own networks. While RIPE Atlas probes are usually hardware devices, and ISPs and end users are encouraged to place one in their network. This package contains a software probe which can be installed on a Debian system, for example in places where hardware probes cannot be installed for reasons. The RIPE NCC is the Regional Internet Registry for Europe, the Middle East and parts of Central Asia. As such, RIPE allocates and registers blocks of Internet number resources to Internet service providers and other organisations.
