Re: [atlas] RIPE Atlas usage webinar (and software probe installation demo)

2020-08-19 Thread Alun Davies
Hi Bjørn, 

At the time of writing that article, we were seeing different pros and cons for 
different platforms. For example, for at least one of the other platforms 
mentioned here, there were pretty strict limitations on the number of 
participants it would allow for back then. Zoom didn't have that kind of issue, 
and for this and other reasons, it really did stand out as the best option 
overall. It’s worth adding also that, for the most part, we have received good 
feedback for Zoom from attendees at our events. 

That said, as things move on, we're continuing to explore a whole variety of 
new options for future events. And we're also keeping a close eye on feedback 
we get from attendees and others. We appreciate the input and we are taking it 
into account. 

Kind regards,

looking for volunteers willing to partner with us and help package the software 
for various operating systems and platforms.

Please send your feedback and let us know if you can support RIPE Atlas

[atlas] RIPE Atlas v3 Anchor Hardware

2017-09-11 Thread Alun Davies
Dear all,

The RIPE NCC has chosen a new model for the RIPE Atlas v3 Anchors. The hardware 
we finally opted for is the PC Engines APU2. As well as being cheaper than the 
previous generation of anchors, this model meets the majority of requirements 
we laid out for the next generation of anchors. 

To be clear, given that there are still a couple of minor logistical details to 
resolve, we are still keeping applications on hold for the time being. That 
said, we look set to meet our September deadline to resume shipping of RIPE 
Atlas anchors.

[atlas] New RIPE Atlas Measurement Options

2017-07-17 Thread Alun Davies
Dear all,

The RIPE Atlas team have added a number of new measurement options on RIPE 
Atlas. Here’s an overview of the changes:

DNS measurements

timeout: allows the user to specify a custom timeout in milliseconds after 
which probes will stop waiting for a response from the DNS server

use_macros: allows the use of special macro strings in the "query_argument" 
field, to create unique or easily distinguishable queries. The allowed macros 
are:
$p  the (integer) ID of the probe carrying out the measurement
$r   a random 16-digit hexadecimal string
$t   a Unix timestamp of the time that the probe carries out the DNS query
SSLcert measurements

hostname: specifies a hostname to send as a Server Name Indication (SNI), which 
is necessary for web servers which host multiple TLS domains on the same IP 
address.
Ping measurements

include_probe_id: include the probe ID as an ASCII string within the payload of 
ping measurements. Note: this is included in addition to other payload data.

The changes are all included in the RIPE Atlas API reference: 
https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/api/v2/reference/#!/measurements/Measurement_List_POST
 
<https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/api/v2/reference/#!/measurements/Measurement_List_POST>

If you have any questions whatsoever about the new measurement options, do let 
us know. As always, we welcome suggestions for new features from RIPE Atlas 
users.

[atlas] Firmware Update for RIPE Atlas V1 and V2 Probes

2017-06-09 Thread Alun Davies
Dear all,

We’re currently in the process of deploying a new firmware update for RIPE 
Atlas V1 and V2 probes. The update provides a fix for a bug that caused around 
15% of RIPE Atlas V1 probes to disconnect. As of the time of writing, the 
update is at approximately 60% deployment. 

If you’ve been unable to reconnect your RIPE Atlas V1 probe, you can return it 
to the following address to be fixed. If you’d like the probe to be returned to 
you afterwards, please let us know. Alternatively, we’d encourage you to apply 
for a V3 probe.

RIPE NCC

Re: [atlas] RIPE Atlas V1 Probe Issue

2017-05-17 Thread Alun Davies
A few points of clarification are warranted following the previous mail.

The firmware alluded to in the previous email was released in February 2017. 
Since then, approximately 100 RIPE Atlas V1 probes have disconnected - about 
15% of the total number of V1 probes on the network. 

The fix that is currently in the making is expected to be released in a month 
or so. If at that time you have still been unable to reconnect your V1 probe, 
you can then return your probe to be fixed. Alternatively, you may apply for a 
V3 probe by following the usual process as described here:

[atlas] RIPE Atlas V1 Probe Issue

2017-05-16 Thread Alun Davies
Hello all,

Due to an unfortunate bug in a recently released probe firmware (version 4760), 
a number of RIPE Atlas V1 probes are not currently able to connect to the 
network. The bug leads to excessive memory fragmentation which impacts that V1 
probes because they have no MMU and only 8 MByte worth of memory. 

For reasons that are not yet clear, the issue has only affected well below half 
of the V1 probes. We are working on a new firmware that will correct this 
issue, but probes that will not connect will need to be returned to the RIPE 
NCC in order for the fix to be carried out. Once the new firmware is ready, 
users can either return their V1 probes to us to be fixed, or request a V3 
probe instead.

Thank you to Wilfred Woeber for reporting this and requesting an update on the 
current issue with the V1 probes.

Cheers,
Alun Davies

[atlas] Emails Regarding Probe Connection Issues

2016-11-07 Thread Alun Davies
Dear members of the RIPE Atlas community,

It was recently called to our attention that certain emails we send out to RIPE 
Atlas probe hosts, concerning probe connection issues, have been somewhat 
abrupt in their tone. We are working to address the issue.

While we devote a great deal of effort to ensuring that any correspondence we 
send out is both informative in content and appropriate in tone, we greatly 
appreciate feedback whenever it is felt that such goals have not been met.

We would like to take this opportunity to once again thank all RIPE Atlas probe 
hosts for their ongoing participation.

Best regards,

Alun Davies (RIPE NCC)
