Updated Version of NetSense
We got a lot of useful feedback from the Information Services demo stand at RIPE59 in Lisbon and already implemented some of the suggestions. Find here a list of changes.
Measurements and Statistics
Untunneling IPv6
For more than five years now, the RIPE NCC has been measuring the number of native (no IPv4 transit) versus tunneled (IPv6 traffic whose path includes transit via IPv4 tunnels) IPv6 interconnections in the core of the Internet. These measurements have been conducted using the Test Traffic Measureme…
IPv6 Panel Discussion Results
Maarten Botterman
I am involved in policy research on Internet development as GNKS Consult, and I am Director on the Board of the Public Interest Registry (.ORG). I have learned to appreciate the RIPE NCC research and debate on topics relating to the Internet that matter.
Having evaluated the outcomes of the EU IPv6 Deployment Survey and presented them at various meetings during the past few weeks, I was curious to find out if the outcomes would be different when asking the same questions to the RIPE community.
REX Usage Report
Robert Kisteleki
I 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.
After the Resource Explainer REX has been available for four weeks, we looked at the usage statistics collected by the tool to get a better ide how useful this tool could be for the wider community.
APNIC DITLD Looking at Other Regions
George Michaelson
George Michaelson is currently APNIC's senior R&D scientist. Recently, he has been working on long-baseline IPv6 and DNS statistics using Internet-wide end-user measurement, services logging, audit and analysis, and design and implementation of the Internet Number Resource Certification framework. George is a member of the BCS, and a founder member of the Australian chapter of the Internet Society. He participates regularly in IETF standardisation meetings, and co-authors Request For Comment (RFC) documents, technical drafts, and conference and peer-review papers. George graduated from York University in 1982 with a BSc in Computer Science. His career in the United Kingdom and Australia has pursued research and development in computer science, networking, and systems administration.

How to Define Address Space as 'routed' ?
Rene Wilhelm
Rene Wilhelm is a senior research engineer in the R&D department at the RIPE NCC. Coming from a background in particle physics, Rene joined the RIPE NCC in 1996. His interests are in data analysis, routing, Internet measurements and visualisation.
When can a particular address block considered to be globally routed. The purpose of this document is to come up with a definition of "globally" routed prefixes which can be used in any analysis of RIS data, both recent and historic.
REX and Ukrtelecom
Emile Aben
Emile Aben
Based in Amsterdam, NL
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.
This articles reports from an analysis where we used REX to find out more information about the IP addresses used by Ukrtelecom after they were identified as a spam source.

Lameness: Analysis, Measurement, and Estimation
Shane Kerr
DNS researcher at BII | 天地互连 (the Beijing Internet Institute)
After the RIPE NCC implemented a system that checks for lame DNS servers in the part of the DNS tree the RIPE NCC maintains I was curious to find out how big a problem DNS lameness really is. I wrote a tool and presented it at the DNS WG during RIPE 59 in Lisbon.

I wrote the articles collected here during my time as community builder of the RIPE NCC and the maintainer and editor of RIPE Labs. I have since taken on a new role serving as the Chair of the RIPE Community. You can reach my new profile via the website link below.
If you were looking at the RIPE Labs site this week, you might be interested to know that you were not the only one.
