Worth Reading: Detecting network outages with RIPE ATLAS As much as we dislike it, large-scale Internet outages do happen, sometimes as a result of technical problems or sometimes even politically motivated. We’d like to be notified when these outages occur, ideally in real-time, as they can explain connectivity issues or other Internet phenomena (for instance, events seen at a NOC). They can also potentially be seen as metrics for the health of the Internet. —Anant Shah @ APNIC Related ← Worth Reading: IPv6, large packets, and DNSWorth Reading: Open core, open perimeter →
