[ncc-services-wg] Closure of Test Traffic Measurements Service and Changes to the DNS Monitoring Service

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Dear colleagues,

As of 1 July 2014, the old DNS Monitoring Service (DNSMON), based on
the Test Traffic Measurements Service (TTM), has stopped receiving
updates to its data.

The new DNSMON interface is available at:
  https://atlas.ripe.net/dnsmon

All historic DNSMON visualisations will remain available at:
  http://dnsmon-old.ripe.net

We will keep these visualisations of the historic data available until
at least the end of 2014. Existing URLs that point to specific periods
or zones in the old DNSMON (for example
http://dnsmon.ripe.net/dns-servmon/server/) will be redirected and
will continue to work for as long as the old DNSMON visualisation
servers are maintained. As discussed at the RIPE 68 DNS Working Group
session in Warsaw, the RIPE NCC will provide some statistics on usage
of the old visualisations at RIPE 69 in London. The DNS Working Group
will be consulted regarding the further maintenance or possible
decommissioning of these visualisations.

Background
The RIPE NCC announced a new version of DNSMON in March 2014 and
informed the community that the old DNSMON would be phased out. The
old DNSMON was dependent upon measurements run as part of TTM, which
was in the last phase of its existence. TTM has been decommissioned,
as announced previously, on 1 July 2014. In line with the closure of
TTM, data collection in the old DNSMON has also been terminated from
that same date.

These changes are in line with our previous communications, notably
the RIPE Labs article "Timeline for Phasing Out the Old TTM-Based DNSMON":
