The upcoming RIPE meeting in Amsterdam will give plenty of opportunity for "community building" - interaction between the developers of various tools like RIPE Atlas and RIPEstat, and the users of these services. If you want to talk about TTM, DNSMON, K-root, RIPE Atlas Anchors, IPv6 Measurements..…

Update on AS Path Lengths Over Time

Update on AS Path Lengths Over Time

Mirjam Kühne

One way to determine the denseness of the Internet, or its “interconnectedness”, is to look at the path length between Autonomous Systems (ASes). A while ago we looked at that and also at differences between IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Has this changed in the meantime? See our findings below.

RIPE NCC Registration Services "Dry Run" For Last /10 Procedures

RIPE NCC Registration Services "Dry Run" For Last /10 Procedures

2 min read

The RIPE NCC will shortly reach a point where we have approximately one month's worth of IPv4 address space (approximately /10) to distribute before we reach the last /8. Once we reach this point, several adjustments will be made to our standard procedures, so the RIPE NCC decided to do a "dry run"…

World IPv6 Launch - Results from HTTP Measurements

Rene Wilhelm

6 min read

For World IPv6 Launch the RIPE NCC measured 60 selected participants from over 50 vantage points all over the world. In this article we present the DNS and HTTP measurement results from a 4-day period as a 3 minute movie. We will discuss general observations and look at some specific events.

RIPE NCC Active Measurements of World IPv6 Launch Dataset

RIPE NCC Active Measurements of World IPv6 Launch Dataset

1 min read

As part of our Data Repository, the RIPE NCC has released a new dataset. This dataset contains DNS lookups (A+AAAA), ping/ping6, traceroute/traceroute6 and HTTP fetches (IPv4/IPv6) from 53 vantage points (TTM, CAIDA Ark and others) to 60 websites involved in World IPv6 Launch. The data covers the p…

RIPE Atlas - A Case Study of IPv6 /48 Filtering

RIPE Atlas - A Case Study of IPv6 /48 Filtering

Emile Aben

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…
