--  RIPE Atlas Software Probes
Did you always want to host a RIPE Atlas probe but couldn't? The probes are now also available as a software package, making it easier to host one! Learn more about what the RIPE Atlas team has done to make these probes available in this RIPE Labs article:

-- The Debogonisation of 2a10::/12
As we're getting ready to start allocating a new block of IPv6 addresses, from 2a10::/12, we did a couple of 'pre-flight' checks to check the usability of the address space in this /12 block. Emile Aben, Florian Obser, Rene Wilhelm, Stephen Strowes and Riccardo Stagni share their findings in this RIPE Labs article:
