What is Atlas• Next-generation active measurement network• Geographically spread vantage points• Small, easily-deployable probes
– USB powered– Hardwired trust material– No open ports– Don’t listen to local traffic– Firmware can be remotely updated

Benefits• More vantage points• Continuous measurements• Cost-effective compared to individual efforts• Independent source
– Governments: comparative data about connectivity– LIRs: detect network abnormalities, optimise– Researchers: long baseline for trend analysis– Community: new tools based on aggregated data, situational awareness

User Defined Measurements (UDM) Strategy• Start with a small set of
variables• Enable features over time• Allow more resource
usage over time• Add measurement types
based on demand

UDM Implementation
• Tied to credit system• Centralised scheduling• Consideration for host’s
requirements• In beta testing
– Promising results
8
Ann Barcomb, 2 December 2011
• Currently:– Ping (v4/v6)– Traceroute (v4/v6)
• Upcoming:– DNS query
UDM (beta)

UDM (beta)• Currently:
– Worldwide• Upcoming:
– Region– Country– AS– Prefix– Probe
10
Ann Barcomb, 2 December 2011
UDM (beta)• Configurable aspects:
– Resolve on probe– Timing– Number of probes– Response to low number of probes
– Intervals– Notifications– Public

Planned Developments• Roll-out of UDM• More UDM types • Real-time access to (raw) data• APIs to the system• Automatic alerts/notifications• More (types of) maps• More probes distributed and
installed
13
