This looks like fun! (a few questions for the RIPE folk, I think though below) What is the expected load of streaming clients on the RIPE service? (I wonder because I was/am messing about with something similar, though less node and js... not that that's relevant here). I hadn't seen the ripe folk pipe up anywhere with what their SLO/etc is for the ris-live service? (except their quip about: "used to run in a tmux session I had to occassioanlly ssh into <foo> and restart when <foo> rebooted" I believe the end of that quip in Iceland was: "and now its' running as a real service") Also, one of the strengths to the 'monitoring as a service' folks is their number of collection points and breadth of ASN to which they interconnect those points/ RISLive, I think, reports out from ~37 or so RIPE probes, how do we (the internet) get more deployed (or better interconnection to the current sets)? and maybe even more imoprtantly... what's the right spread/location/interconnectivity map for these probes? thanks! for showing what's possible with tooling being developed by like minded individuals :) -chris On Thu, Aug 15, 2019 at 11:11 AM Job Snijders <job@ntt.net> wrote:

I appreciate the effort and the intent behind this project, but why should the community contribute to an open source project on GitHub that is mainly powered by a closed source binary?

You can build it yourself, see https://github.com/nttgin/BGPalerter#more-information-for-developers
I think that the binaries are here for thoses that don’t want to install all the build-chain.
Indeed, the binary files in the github repository in the 'bin/' directory are merely provided as a convenience service so interested people don't need to compile the software themselves in order to run tests. This project is 100% open source.
At some point in the future ready made binaries should move to a different place, for example perhaps we can distribute packages through the PPA mechanism for debian/ubuntu. It would be cool if we get to the point where one can install the software by simply issuing a command like "apt install bgpalerter". Help with packaging is most welcome! :-)
Kind regards,
Job
