M-Lab Participates in Internet Measurements Workshop at 2019 African Internet Summit
M-Lab was pleased to be invited to contribute to the Internet Measurements workshop at the 2019 African Internet Summit, June 15-16, 2019 in Kampala, Uganda. M-Lab tech lead, Peter Boothe, and advisor, Georgia Bullen, presented a hands-on tutorial on querying and visualizing performance and routing datasets.
Traceroute BigQuery Table New Data Temporarily Halted for Schema Change
M-Lab is working on replacing the current traceroute BigQuery table with new schema, which will put all hops of one test in one row of BigQuery table. The new table will have all the information in the current table but make the search of hops within one test much easier. To make this happen, we will stop the new data feed of current traceroute BigQuery table in early July, 2019. The details of new schema will be published once the conversion of all data to BigQuery tables with the new traceroute schema is completed and available to the public.
Naming BQ Datasets after M-Lab Measurement Services & Data Types
Earlier this year, M-Lab published blog post outlining our new ETL pipeline and transition to new BigQuery tables. That post also outlined where we’ve saved our datasets, tables, and views in BigQuery historically, and recommended tables and views for most researchers to use. At that time we also implemented semantic versioning to new dataset and table releases at that time, and began publishing BigQuery views that unify our NDT data across multiple schema iterations and migrations.
Michigan Moonshot Data Collection Pilot Project Launches
M-Lab is excited to highlight the launch of “Michigan Moonshot”, a pilot data collection project developed through a partnership with the MERIT Network, Michigan State University’s Quello Center, and M-Lab. We worked with MERIT developers who adapted the Piecewise codebase to build the Michigan Moonshot website.
