Description

We have recently built an open dashboard called Rootviz, which visualizes in real-time measurement data produced by all Ripe Atlas probes.

It allow users to visualize real-time reachability between the probes and each Root Server, for both IPv4 and IPv6.

It complements DNSMON by two ways: using industry's default time-series visualization (Grafana) and by leveraging a different dataset from DNSMON: it uses data from all Atlas probes, and not only the robust anchors.

Moreover, it uses the open-source Grafana, the state-of-the-art visualization tool.

Summary

  • New visualization tool for ROOT DNS servers and TLDs that use RIPE Atlas
  • It allow to identify events (we have found 4 confirmed events by Root Operators)
Talk duration 20 Minutes (+5 for Q&A)
