Root system latency visualisation
by Ray Bellis Dec. 10, 2020

Dec. 10, 2020

Fellow Caucus members - In support of the Local Perspective Working Party I have produced a visualation that allows you to see the latency to the Root System as seen by RIPE Atlas Probes. The visualisation shows the latency by colour, and hovering over a probe's location will show the latency to each RSO and the RSO's geo-code for the associated Anycast instance. Of particular use is the slider found at top-right which determines how many of the latency figures are used to determine the colour of a point. At its default position of 1 it shows the latency to the single fastest instance, and at the other extreme of 13 it shows the worst case latency. If on the other hand you pick e.g. 4, a point that remains green indicates that at least four instances provide a "good" latency (where for the purposes of this visualisation that's about 40ms). The tool may be accessed at <https://atlas-vis.isc.org/> It's tested and developed using Chrome, but should work on other modern browsers. Please note that it does typically take around a minute for the current data to be extracted from the RIPE Atlas API servers. Ray Bellis

Hi All, OARC 34 will be an online meeting on February 4th & 5th starting at 16:00 UTC. The Programme Committee is seeking contributions from the community. All DNS-related subjects and suggestions for discussion topics are welcome. Based on the feedback from the previous workshop, the DNS-OARC audience is interested to see more content related to DNS operations. Therefore we are particularly interested in submissions from DNS Operators about attack mitigation and any major (public or non-public) DNS outages that your organization might have faced over the last year or so, the steps taken to resolve/mitigate the immediate issue, and to prevent future such events and any lessons learned. As it is an online workshop, we'd like to encourage brevity; presentations should not be longer than 20 minutes (with additional time for questions). **Workshop Milestones:** * 9 Dec 2020 - Submissions open via Indico * 4 Jan 2021 - Deadline for submission (23:59 UTC) * 14 Jan 2021 - Initial Contribution list published * 21 Jan 2021 - Full agenda published * 28 Jan 2021 - Deadline for slideset submission and Rehearsal * 4 Feb 2021 - OARC 34 Workshop The Registration page and details for presentation submission are published at: <https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc34 <https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc34>> To allow the Programme Committee to make objective assessments of submissions, so as to ensure the quality of the workshop, submissions SHOULD include slides. Draft slides are acceptable on submission. Additional information for speakers of OARC 34: * your talk will be broadcast live and recorded for future reference * your presentation slides will be available for delegates and others to download and refer to, before, during and after the meeting * you will be expected to attend a rehearsal on January 28th. It would be very useful to have your slides (even if draft) ready for this. If you have questions or concerns you can contact the Programme Committee: https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/programme <https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/programme> via <submissions(a)dns-oarc.net> Willem Toorop, for the DNS-OARC Programme Committee OARC depends on sponsorship to fund its workshops and associated social events. Please contact <sponsor(a)dns-oarc.net> if your organization is interested in becoming a sponsor.

Local Perspective Working Party
by ABDULKARIM OLOYEDE Dec. 4, 2020

Dec. 4, 2020

Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, The Local Perspective Working Party (WP) has had a monthly meeting since our inaugural meeting in April 2020. The aim of the WP is to develop metrics needed in measuring the local perspective to help improve internet services in general and RSS systems in particular. The WP hope to help identify inadequate infrastructure and identify locations for new RSS instance. This could also help give the end-user a measurement of their perspective of the RSS. The WP came up with a number of user narratives which has so far been reduced to 5 (This can be found at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1enH6LjICyAbKVr7ssps_4KapecRAROK0nZrw2ih… https://docs.google.com/document/d/1enH6LjICyAbKVr7ssps_4KapecRAROK0nZrw2ih… ). The user narratives are 1. Evaluating proposed locations for new root server instances 2. Identify currently underserved areas 3. Recursive resolver operators wanting to better understand the RSS 4. RSS data in support of research (*We are considering dropping this because we think it might be out of scope for the WP*) 5. Improve General Internet Connectivity/Access Please we would like you to go though the document and let us know if you agree with these narratives or not and if you have any suggestion. Also we would like to have your comments on the scope of this work in general especially if you think the WP is going beyond what is expected. The scope can be found at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DVtC3DA-oxAvERGYsSdOAcBdmCsDEOwuNU1v5TA… .We are getting to a stage where we need to have the opinion of the member of RSSAC caucus. The recording and agenda for previous meeting can be found at https://community.icann.org/display/RSSAC/RSSAC+Caucus+Local+Perspective+To… Please more impotantly, we need more people to volunteer and help in contributing and writing up the report of the WP. The proposed outline of the repot can be found at https://docs.google.com/document/d/11slZDTqrcwTwywpbi3JwHuU_FoaoN54u0f3B2UF… <https://docs.google.com/document/d/11slZDTqrcwTwywpbi3JwHuU_FoaoN54u0f3B2UF…> I look forward to many of us contibuting and joinning our next meeting scheduled for 14th Decmber 2020 at 16 Abdulkarim Oloyede WP Leader -- Website <http://www.unilorin.edu.ng>, Weekly Bulletin <http://www.unilorin.edu.ng/index.php/bulletin> UGPortal <http://uilugportal.unilorin.edu.ng/> PGPortal <https://uilpgportal.unilorin.edu.ng/>
