COVID-19 impact on RIPE Atlas #internet #measurements
summary
Analysis uses RIPE Atlas active measurements (pings, traceroutes from probes and anchors) and RIS BGP routing data to show how COVID-19 moved traffic from corporate to residential networks, producing stronger diurnal patterns and localized latency spikes (e.g., Venezuela 50→250 ms). A hackathon created the “network delays in time of corona” dataset combining RIPE Atlas probes and RIS BGP feeds, and routing-level metrics show BGP announcements did not drop even where performance degraded.
