The webinar teaches how to measure and analyse network performance using RIPE Atlas, covering the key concepts needed to measure the Internet, with practical demos and a step-by-step guide to creating measurements. Participants will learn what Internet measurements are and why they matter for diagnosing and improving network performance; how the RIPE Atlas platform and its probes work; how to set up measurement types such as ping and traceroute; how to read results to spot delays, lost packets, and slowdowns; and the privacy and security issues of Internet measurements and how to handle data responsibly. Pre-requisites are basic knowledge of networks, how the Internet works, and IP, ASN, and domains.
¿Qué tan preparada está Internet en nuestros países para afrontar los desafíos de seguridad, resiliencia e innovación de los próximos años?
El Grupo de Mediciones de Internet Society para LAC trabaja para responder a esta pregunta mediante datos abiertos, indicadores comparables y análisis técnicos que permiten comprender mejor el estado de Internet en América Latina y el Caribe.
Se invita a participar a cualquier persona interesada en métricas de Internet, seguridad, IPv6, DNS, resiliencia o estándares abiertos, o que simplemente desee colaborar con una comunidad regional de expertos y entusiastas.
The meeting will be conducted in Spanish using Google Meet. Non-Spanish speakers will be able to participate by using Meet’s caption translation function.
On 8-9 December, 2025, the Internet Society hosted a Pulse Internet Measurement Forum (PIMF) at The Social Hub in Barcelona, Spain. The PIMF offers an opportunity to learn about the various projects that measure the development and resilience of the Internet, as well as how to utilize the openly provided data for research and reports on the challenges and opportunities for growing and securing the Internet.

On 29 April 2025, the Internet Society Cybersecurity Special Interest Group (Cybersecurity SIG) meeting included a presentation ‘Measuring Internet Security Resilience‘. Robbie Mitchell provided an overview of the Internet Society’s efforts to measure the resilience of the Internet with a focus on Pulse – a website that consolidates trusted third-party Internet measurement data from various sources to examine Internet trends and tell data-driven stories related to the availability, evolution, and resilience of the Internet.
PRESENTER Robbie Mitchell – Communication and Tech Advisor, Internet Society
HOST / MODERATOR Danny Glix – Secretary, Cybersecurity SIG
On Monday February 24, 2025 the Pulse Internet Measurement Forum (PIMF) will be convened in two 2.5-hour sessions held in conjunction with APRICOT 2025in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
The PIMF provides an opportunity to learn about the multiple projects that are measuring the development and resilience of the Internet and how you can use the data they openly provide for your research and reports on the challenges and opportunities for growing and securing the Internet.

Este Webinar consistirá en realizar una introducción inicial para la capacitación en la instalación de las sondas de medición ‘RIPE ATLAS‘, que es la red de medición de Internet más grande jamás creada. RIPE Atlas emplea una red global de sondas que miden la conectividad y la accesibilidad de Internet, lo que brinda una comprensión sin precedentes del estado de Internet en tiempo real.
Esta herramienta de medición también es homologada por LACNIC para realizar nuestras mediciones de Internet. Por lo que desde el capítulo de Internet Society Colombia y en alianza con LACNIC y RIPE NCC queremos capacitar, entregar las herramientas e insumos necesarios para que en nuestro país empecemos a hacer parte de esta gran red de mediciones y que conozcamos las ventajas que traerá alojar estas sondas en las diferentes redes de nuestro país para tener mayor visibilidad del tráfico local e internacional.
On Thursday 31 March 2022 at 3pm-4pm CEST (13:00-14:00 UTC) the World Data Lab (WDL) in collaboration with the Internet Society Foundation presents a webinar ‘Which are the most Internet poor countries in the world?‘ to launch the Internet Poverty Index. WDL estimates reveal that globally over 1.39 billion people, or around 17.8% of the world population, currently live in Internet poverty. By defining internet affordability, quality, and quantity thresholds, the estimates of global Internet poverty can finally be assessed.
