This area builds on top of the measurement infrastructure the project depends on and translates technical findings into actionable recommendations for governments, network operators, and emergency services. Our goal is to deploy measurement probes where they do not currently exist, explore portable infrastructure for disaster scenarios, and develop policy guidance based on the evidence we've collected across our work.
The goal of the measurement side is practical: deploy more RIPE Atlas probes and anchors in the South Pacific, use Internet telescopes for passive monitoring, and anycast measurement campaigns. The policy side takes our results and uses them to inform real-world decisions. Possible recommendations include emergency peering agreements during disasters, options for hosting critical services locally, and guidance for funding bodies on where infrastructure investment would most reduce risk.
