About the author

I'm a system architect/research coordinator at the RIPE NCC, where I work in the science group. I'm a chemist by training, but have been working since 1998 on Internet related things, as a sysadmin, security consultant, web developer and researcher. I am interested in technology changes (like IPv6 deployment), Internet measurement, data analysis, data visualisation, sustainability and security. I'd like to bring research and operations closer together, ie. do research that is operationally relevant. When I'm not working I like to make music (electric guitar, bass and drums), do sports (swimming, (inline) skating, bouldering, soccer), and try to be a good parent.

RIPE Atlas - Superstorm Sandy

RIPE Atlas - Superstorm Sandy

IPv6 RIPEness - More Stars

IPv6 RIPEness - More Stars

9 min read

IPv6 RIPEness helped in creating awareness and got people into action with regards to their first steps towards deploying IPv6 in the RIPE NCC service region. Up until now IPv6 RIPEness didn't measure actual IPv6 deployment. In this article we propose a measure (a "5th star"), which attempts to mea…

RIPE Atlas - A Case Study of IPv6 /48 Filtering

RIPE Atlas - A Case Study of IPv6 /48 Filtering

9 min read

In this article I look at four different IPv6 destinations in different BGP set-ups and how these are seen by RIPE Atlas probes. This reveals some differences in reachability for the different networks, likely due to BGP route filtering. We see roughly 1% out of ~500 RIPE Atlas probes that can't re…

Measuring IPv6 Connectivity with RIPE Atlas - How Do Others See Your IPv6 Network?

Measuring IPv6 Connectivity with RIPE Atlas - How Do Others See Your IPv6 Network?

10 min read

We've enabled RIPE NCC members to do IPv6-traceroutes from all RIPE Atlas probes to IPv6 destinations. Until now they could get the raw analysis results (text/JSON representations of traceroute results) for analysis. In this article we present a first experimental analysis and visualisation of the …
