RIPE NCC Test-Traffic Measurements
• RIPE NCC Service to measure one-way delays and losses
• Measurement stations all over the world• Full mesh• Some 2,000 paths that might include the
Ebone network

TTM data
• Network alarms– Monitors incoming delays– 2 averages: Long (30 days) and short (15 minutes)– Warns operator (and us) if recent delays are
outside the expected range
• Delay and Loss plots

Delay and Loss plots, format
Henk Uijterwaal . RIPE 42 , April 20, 2023, Amsterdam . http://www.ripe.net/test-traffic/6
Delay and Loss plots, format
• Delay– Top left– X-axis: Time of day (July 02 0:00 – July 03 0:00, GMT)– Y-axis and black dots: Delay in ms for individual packets– Red dots: #hops times 10
• Delay distribution– Top right
• Loss– Bottom right– X-axis: Time of day– Y-axis: % of packets that arrived over 15 minutes = 100%-
loss

Individual connections
• “Is the Internet still working?”• Expect:
– No connection– Rerouting– Other effects
• Went through all plots for that day

Summary
• “The Internet is still working!”• Not as good as before though
– Connection lost on 1 path out of 2116– Lots of re-routing
• Unstable routes for 30 to 150 minutes• Sub-optimal paths afterwards
– Lots of connections became slower
• Business opportunity for 400 M€• More fun expected this Friday
