Tools for Measurements and Analysis
The document discusses two measurement tools from RIPE NCC: RIPEstat and RIPE Atlas. RIPEstat is a new modular toolbox for accessing statistics and status data from various data sources. It was recently launched in beta and will eventually replace most other RIPE measurement tools. RIPE Atlas is a next-generation Internet measurement network consisting of small, easily deployable probes that are being deployed worldwide to provide more accurate network mapping data. Users can sponsor probes or host them to earn credits to run their own measurements on the network.

- 41. Measurement nodes –Probes • Probe (v1 / generation 1): – Lantronix XPortPro – Very low power usage – 8MB RAM, 16MB flash – Runs uClinux – No FPU, no MMU, virtually no UI – A reboot costs <15 (<5) seconds – An SSH connection costs ~30 seconds – We can remotely update the firmware – Form factor of the finished probe is just right Presenter Name, Date 41
- 42. RIPE Atlas -Security aspects • Probes have hardwired trust material# (registration server addresses / keys) • The probes don t have any open ports, they only initiate connections – This works fine with NATs too • Probes don t listen to local traffic, there are no passive measurements running – There s no snooping around Presenter Name, Date 42
