Soon to start, #RIPEduca. Expect some live-tooting about RIPE Atlas probes, Internet measurements and etc, if the proprietary bloatware Adobe Connect works.

Reminder: RIPE Atlas probes are a distributed network of probes that *you* can use to test Internet connectivity from many (10 000) vantage points https://atlas.ripe.net/

A must for any serious Internet professional.

RIPE Atlas - RIPE Network Coordination Centre

RIPE Atlas is the RIPE NCC's main Internet data measurement system.

These probes can do several sort of measurements, requested by users (you and me) : ICMP echo (ping), traceroute (UDP and ICMP), DNS, etc. Here, the current measurements: https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/ #RIPEduca

RIPE Atlas is therefore a nice botnet.

There are also special RIPE Atlas probes, the Anchors: larger machines, which can do the same things as the probes *plus* be the target of measurements (great for pinging the Internet).

#AFNIC one was among the first anchors installed.
