Dear community: We'd like to announce that the first of two RIPE Atlas [1] anchors [2] sponsored by NZRS has been installed in Auckland North Shore, and became active this morning. The anchor support both v4 and v6. This is the second anchor in New Zealand, the first hosted at Waikato University. The second anchor will be installed in Wellington at a later time, once some network architecture work is completed. NZRS is committed to support Internet research and network measurement, we are also Atlas ambassadors and we have Atlas Probes [3] available to distribute. If you are interested on hosting one for your own benefit and the benefit of the community, please contact me. We are currently using the Atlas probes located in New Zealand to conduct a topology discovery experiment from which you will hear in the coming weeks.
