Coming up: WiFi measurements
• Verifying if WiFi connections work or not - Using regular, wired probes
• Not general purpose “is my home wifi ok?” - Targets specific WiFi networks; Eduroam first
• Probes/hosts can to opt-in
• Main benefit for RIPE Atlas: potential wider coverage of networks

A Word About Public Measurements
• A key value for RIPE Atlas is public data
• There are some use cases for doing non-public measurements - Only a handful of users do this though
• Should we continue supporting this?
• See details at https://labs.ripe.net/Members/kistel/non-public-measurements-in-ripe-atlas

A Word About Measurement Ethics
• A plea to “measurers”: - Think about the ethical aspects of what and how you’re
measuring.
- Adjust your measurement accordingly, if needed.
- Refrain from measuring if you suspect it could cause harm.
• Expect a RIPE Labs article and perhaps more discussion coming up soon!
