The Curious Case of Packets From ::
Robert KistelekiI am the leader of the Research and Development team at the RIPE NCC leading a dedicated team of thinkers to support the RIPE community by providing network research, data analysis and prototype tool development and services including RIPE Atlas and RIPEstat.
RIPE Atlas has a large enough footprint all over the world to observe various kinds of network behaviour. Recently we've been notified about a case where the IPv6 source address ::/128 appeared in some of our traceroutes. We set out to discover why this happens.

Bias in Internet Measurement Infrastructure
Pavlos SermpezisPavlos Sermpezis is a researcher at Datalab (datalab.csd.auth.gr), Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. His research is mainly on data science, Internet routing and measurements.
This article aims to raise awareness about bias in the Internet measurement infrastructure; e.g., RIPE Atlas, RIPE RIS. What is bias? Is the infrastructure biased? Is it a problem? The article discusses these issues and presents data that can help users to interpret or conduct measurements.
