During the last five years, the RIPE NCC has been working on two new services for the entire ISP community: TTM or Test Traffic Measurements, and the RIS or Routing Information Service. These projects were presented at the Winter 2000 NANOG meeting, but a large number of new features have been added during the last three years.
We also present the new CDMA-based version of the measurement device. CDMA is a 3rd generation mobile telephony standard that, as a side effect, produces a timing signal. This timing signal can be used to measure the performance of both IPv4 and IPv6 networks down to the 10-microsecond level, anywhere when one can use a mobile phone, without the need for an expensive and hard-to-install GPS system.
The talk gives a short overview of the various services and how they can be used in daily ISP operations, using the shutdown of a major European backbone provider that recently went bankrupt as an example.
