RIPE Atlas UI: New Internet Maps

RIPE Atlas

Hello Atlas Community,

We have just released an update to the UI that completely reworks the Internet Maps section:

  • Root Name Server Instances & RTT to well-known destinations
  • Performance: many times faster than previous maps
  • Sharable URLs with all params
  • Clickable legend tags to filter probe markers
  • Resizable map
  • Probes on maps are searchable by ID, ASN, Country, IP, Prefix
  • Time travel up to 30 days in the past

You can find these maps here: https://atlas.ripe.net/maps/

Over the next couple of months we plan to bring many of the performance improvements of these maps to other areas of Atlas as well as refining and adding to the Internet Maps collection.

As always, we hope you find these changes useful and we welcome your feedback.

Kind regards,

Stephen

Feedback: protocol=1 instead of protocol=0 would be a nice point to start from.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for pointing that out. I have now extended the maps to respect the address family preference as elsewhere. So if you are logged in and your preferred address family is set in https://atlas.ripe.net/prefs, it should default to your choice as with other pages throughout Atlas.

Kind regards,
Stephen

I was hoping, you don’t individualize my wish. My hope was to nudge a little bit the general auditorium.

Hi Thomas,

While we completely understand and share your desire to encourage IPv6 as much as possible, the team also feels we need to balance that with the actual state of things related to measurements and probes. And that means we have decided to default to showing maps with the most information possible (which in this case means IPv4). We hope you understand our reasoning.

Thanks again for your feedback.

Kind regards,

Stephen

Thank you again for clarification. Reading it with unhappy eyeballs.
