Since 1992, the RIPE NCC has been the only Regional Internet Registry to offer a secondary DNS server to its members, called ns.ripe.net. LIRs with a /16-sized IPv4 allocation or a /32-sized IPv6 allocation have been able to use this service to ensure the stability of the DNS service for these larg…

RIPE Atlas and RIPE RIS both provide a wealth of Internet measurement data invaluable to both Internet researchers and network operators alike.

“Hi, when I try to wget Waikato traffic files from these servers the connection gets dropped after a few seconds and I'm left with a piece of the file. WAND describes this behavior would occur on their own servers for ipv4 downloaders. I am using ipv6 and I'm able to download from their servers, so I'm a bit confused why it happens on these servers. Please let me know if you can reproduce this, and if I should provide more information. Many thanks in advance, Eyal”
Hi Eyal, I've tried to reproduce your issue but it seems that I can't: the downloads work fine for me, and I get files of the appropriate size. There could be some on-path problem preventing the download from completing successfully for you; could you try different locations to download from? Alternatively, you could try to do partial downloads using HTTP range requests (see e.g. -C or -r in the curl manpage). As we are unable to reproduce your issue, there's not much that we can do to investigate the problem. If you find anything else, please let us know! Thanks, Paul de Weerd RIPE NCC

“Dear Chenglei, The full iplane traceroute dataset is 5.5TB; sending this over e-mail is not feasible. However, the service should work but doesn't right now. We'll investigate and fix ASAP. Apologies for the inconvenience. Cheers!”
Dear Chenglei, The problem has been idenfitied and resolved - service has been restored. You can now log in and download the data sets again. Thank you for your patience.

“Hi, I have created ncc acount and click dataset access in my profile, but when I click the download link to get to iplane dataset, it keeps bringing me back to dataset homepage, anything missing here? Thanks.”
Hi Dali, There was an issue with an intermediate system granting access to the dataset; this issue has been fixed, and we believe it is now working as intended again. Please let us know if you still experience any problems. Cheers!
