All,
(and hopefully "on topic" for this list)
The RIPE Atlas map of PNG shows 1 connected and 9 abandoned probes:
https://atlas.ripe.net/frames/results/maps/network-coverage/?filter=Papua+Ne...
(you can click on the abandoned legend to show the abandoned probes)
This one is online https://atlas.ripe.net/frames/probes/50365/#tab-network
so there is an opportunity for network measurements (ask if you want
credits to run tests and don't have a probe of your own to earn credits).
These probes are abandoned - but can be reconnected to the network if they
can be found:
https://atlas.ripe.net/frames/probes/6218/#tab-network <-- Anchor @ Telkom
- decommissioned Feb 2020
https://atlas.ripe.net/frames/probes/503/#tab-network <-- Original v1 probe
https://atlas.ripe.net/frames/probes/50277/#tab-network <-- SILMEA02 down
for 23 months
https://atlas.ripe.net/frames/probes/32911/#tab-network <-- v3 probe on
AS38009
https://atlas.ripe.net/frames/probes/32842/#tab-network <-- on AS38009
(Bank of PNG)
https://atlas.ripe.net/frames/probes/188/#tab-network <-- v1 gone for a
long time (11y)
https://atlas.ripe.net/frames/probes/26174/ <-- not publicly visible
https://atlas.ripe.net/frames/probes/1087/ <-- not publicly visible
https://atlas.ripe.net/frames/probes/22180/#tab-network <-- v3 down for 19
months
Just wondering if anyone has seen any of these probes - either still
connected to the network and firewalled off so they can't get out - or
powered off and still serviceable? I recently contacted people I'd
distributed probes to and managed to get a handful recovered or reconnected
and back in operation.
Equally there are now software probes
https://labs.ripe.net/author/alun_davies/ripe-atlas-software-probes/ if
people have VM infrastructure where they'd be interested in running an
Atlas probe (https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/software-probe/ )
Thanks,
