B. TTM update - Ruben van Staveren (RIPE NCC)


Slides: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-54/presentations/tt-update.pdf

Ruben gave an update on recent work on TTM at RIPE NCC.
New hardware and updated sofware resulted in a 200-400% performance increase in central data processsing. Afrer a dip in the middle of 2006, the number of active boxes is slowly increasing again. Recent installs include Brasil and Russia.

C. TTM future - Mark Dranse (RIPE NCC)

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-54/presentations/TTM_Future.pdf

Mark Dranse reported on RIPE NCC's ideas on the future of TTM.

The vision is to expand and maintain the TTM network, increasing the value of the service to the community at large, and to the owners of the probes. Network and measurement architecture are to be enhanced; improvements to be made to result reporting, TTM network alarms, admin and pricing.

Question: do you have to be a RIPE NCC member to have a box?
Answer: no.

A quick poll of the room shows 3-4 participants tentatively plan to join the task force

D. TTM Multicast Monitoring - Franz Schwarzinger (RIPE NCC)

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-54/presentations/Multicast_Monitoring.pdf

Franz Schwarzinger reported on his work regarding Multicast Monitoring.

Question: (Jean Durand, renater) do you also monitor deployed IPv6 multicast?

Answer: IPv6 multicast is not yet supported; if there's interest, contact tt-ops, we will see if it is possible to implement.

E. TTM view of network problems (DDoS) at RIPE54

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-54/presentations/network-problems.pdf

Ruben presented various graphs which show how TTM recorded the connectivity problems coming from the massive DDoS attacks on Estonian IP infrastructure.

How many wuld have a conflict when tt-wg is in parallel to address policy wg?
