Thanks Henk! We'll be back in touch in later in September, once all the NANOG26 submissions have been received and reviewed. Susan Harris, Ph.D. Merit Network/Univ. of Mich. On Mon, 16 Sep 2002, Henk Uijterwaal (RIPE-NCC) wrote:

Hi Susan,

CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS

I'd like to propose the following presentation:

New services from the RIPE NCC ------------------------------

During the last 5 years, the RIPE NCC has been working on 2 new services for the entire ISP community: TTM or Test Traffic Measurements, and the RIS or Routing Information Service. These projects were presented at the Spring 1999 NANOG meeting but a large number of new features have been added during the last 3 years.

TTM: The TTM now consists of a network of +/- 70 machines, measuring delay and loss between sites all over the world. Since 1999, 2 new measurements have been added:

- IP Delay Variations a.k.a. Jitter - Bandwidth measurements, providing an estimate of both the total available bandwidth between sites as well as the unused bandwidth.

We also would like to take this opportunity to present the new CDMA based version of the measurement device. CDMA is a 3rd generation mobile telephony standard that, as a side effect, produces a timing signal. This timing signal can be used to measure the performance of both IPv4 and IPv6 networks down to the 10 microsecond level, anywhere when one can use a mobile phone without the need for an expensive and hard to install GPS system.

RIS: The RIS is now collecting BGP information from 9 sites world-wide, with collectors in North American, Europe and Asia, with some 200 ISP's participating by providing a BGP feed. New applications (since the project was presented at the Spring 1999 NANOG) of the data include:

- Daily lists of hot-spots with the most active prefixes - Analysis of flaps in the routing table. - Detection of AS's and prefixes announced by ISP's but not properly registered in the whois data-base and/or not assigned to them. - Multi homing effects.

This talk gives a short overview of the various services and how they can be used in daily ISP operations, using the shutdown of a major European backbone provider that recently went bankrupt as an example.

Henk

ps. While I hope that more people will start using these services after this talk, this is definitely not a sales talk.

Comment: I can do this talk in either one of 2 ways (or both): a short plenary presentation (20 mins or so), showing the highlights and URL's, inviting people to try these at home, or a longer version (2 hours or so) showing people the details. The latter would be more suitable for a tutorial or BOF. Just let me know what you prefer.

That problem that we weren't having yesterday, is it better? (Big ISP NOC)
