Description: Blaeu, creating measurements on RIPE Atlas probes
        =================================================
        
        This is a set of `Python <https://www.python.org/>`__ programs to start
        distributed Internet measurements on the network of `RIPE Atlas
        probes <https://atlas.ripe.net/>`__, and to analyze their results.
        
        For installation, you can use usual Python tools, for instance:
        
        ::
        
            pip3 install blaeu
        
        (On a Debian machine, the prerequitises are packages python3-pip,
        python3-openssl and python3-cymruwhois. On other systems, pip3 will
        install the dependencies.)
        
        Usage requires a RIPE Atlas API key (which itself requires a RIPE
        account), and RIPE Atlas credits. If you don't have a RIPE account,
        `register first <https://access.ripe.net/>`__. Once you have an account,
        `create a key <https://atlas.ripe.net/keys/>`__, grant it the right to
        start new measurements, and put the key in ``~/.atlas/auth``. If you
        don't have Atlas credits, host a probe,or become a
        `LIR <https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-management/faq/independent-resources/phase-three/what-is-a-local-internet-registry-lir>`__
        or ask a friend.
        
        You can then use the four programs (``-h`` will give you a complete list
        of their options):
        
        -  ``blaeu-reach target-IP-address`` (test reachability of the target,
           like ``ping``)
        -  ``blaeu-traceroute target-IP-address`` (like ``traceroute``)
        -  ``blaeu-resolve name`` (use the DNS to resolve the name)
        -  ``blaeu-cert name`` (display the PKIX certificate)

        Labs <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/stephane_bortzmeyer/creating-ripe-atlas-one-off-measurements-with-blaeu>`__.
        
        Blaeu requires Python 3.
        
        Note that `the old
        version <https://github.com/RIPE-Atlas-Community/ripe-atlas-community-contrib>`__
        ran on Python 2 but is no longer maintained. (It was `partially
        documented at RIPE
        Labs <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/stephane_bortzmeyer/using-ripe-atlas-to-debug-network-connectivity-problems>`__.)
        
        Name
        ----
        
        It comes from the `famous Dutch
        cartographer <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willem_Blaeu>`__. The logo
        of the project comes from his "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" (see `the
        source <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Blaeu_1645_-_Livonia_vulgo_Lyefland.jpg>`__).
