[ncc-announce] [news] RIPE Atlas access via LIR Portal

Dear colleagues,

RIPE NCC members use the LIR Portal to manage their IP address and AS
Number resources, but now members have easier access to RIPE Atlas
directly from the LIR Portal, including special members-only features.
This is just the first step of more cross-platform benefits to come,
made possible by logging in to your RIPE NCC Access account.

RIPE Atlas is an active measurement network that collects Internet
performance data from more than 2,400 probes around the globe,
and it is constantly growing. Measurement data is available to anyone
in the form of Internet traffic maps, and volunteers who host a RIPE
Atlas probe earn "credits" they can use to perform their own customised
measurements using the entire RIPE Atlas network.

However, as a RIPE NCC member, your LIR gets special benefits that are
now accessible to you through the LIR Portal:

* You can test your IPv6 reachability by performing 800 traceroutes with
one click

* You can request one million credits to spend on the customised
measurements of your choice (IPv6 & IPv4: ping, DNS, traceroute, SSL)

* You can apply to host a RIPE Atlas probe of your own, and we will ship
it to your LIR's registered address

To access these features via the LIR Portal, visit
https://lirportal.ripe.net/home/atlas
or click on the RIPE Atlas link under the "Tools" section
after logging in to the LIR Portal page.
