RIPE NCC Regional Meeting Moscow 2005

Demonstrations

The following demos took place during the RIPE NCC Regional Meeting in Moscow.

Routing Information Service:
The RIS collects and stores BGP routing information and makes it publicly available for the Internet community.

The RIS DB and its tools can help network operators troubleshoot routing problems by providing eBGP data collected over time without being limited to a single BGP view. Archived raw RIS data since September 1999 is also available for research purposes. Tools based on the RIS include BGPlay and myASn.

BGPlay:
This visualises BGP updates in the Routing Information Service's (RIS) Database.

BGPlay was developed by the Computer Networks Research Group at Roma Tre University. It is hosted by the RIPE NCC, who provide direct access to the RIS database. Its animated, interactive graphical display makes it easier to interpret how BGP updates affect the routing of a specific prefix than by analysing the updates themselves.

MyASn:
RIPE NCC's Alarm System for BGP Notification system for BGP that can generate alerts in cases of unexpected routing behaviour depending on user configuration.

dnsmon:
RIPE NCC DNS Monitoring

'dnsmon' provides a comprehensive, objective and up-to-date overview on the quality of service of high level DNS servers. These are currently the root servers and some participating TLD servers.

TTM:
RIPE NCC's Test Traffic Measurements (TTM)
TTM measures key parameters of connectivity between your site and other networks on the Internet. This includes one-way delay, IPDV ('jitter'), routing vectors and packet loss.
