In January, 2018 Qrator Labs specializing in counteraction to DDoS attacks and ensuring availability of Internet resources announced start of the tool allowing to simplify the analysis of connectivity of suppliers of DDoS-mitigation of services, telecom operators and other services based on the RIPE Atlas platform.
RIPE Atlas is the global network consisting of thousands of devices and allowing to measure the connectivity of the different systems and throughput speed of Internet channels in real time. Atlas represents a set of tests (probe - 'probe'), i.e. independent hardware devices using which it is possible to execute different network tests. Probes can be located as in networks of telecom operators and data centers, and to be connected to home WiFi-routers.
The Qrator.Radar command developed the instrument of visualization of measurements which functionality several options of visualization of cross-network delays (waiting time, latency enter – time for which the data packet passes from a source (server) to the host party - the user's browser) and visualization of issue of DNS for the set domain name. The mechanism of the emergency check of availability of the set service was in addition implemented.
"Today in the market there is a great number of service providers of counteraction to DDoS attacks. When comparing of the services offered by them to potential clients happens not easy to select this or that provider as it is not always possible to define precisely the objective criteria allowing to estimate service quality. However possibilities of a research and the analysis of networks, irrespective of the compared services began to appear recently. One of the best such mechanisms is RIPE Atlas, – the founder and the CEO of Qrator Labs Alexander Lyamin comments. – The tools developed by the Qrator.Radar command supplement functionality of Atlas, creating out-of-the-box a product using which it is possible to carry out visualization and evident comparison of different services".
All source code of the tools developed by Qrator.Radar is available on GitHub. For use of tool kit it is necessary to have the virtual credits.
