If this gets implemented, please add a checkbox where one can indicate whether one is a user or also can get things fixed in the AS where your probe is connected.

It seems a good idea. I don't think this will be abused and in case it would be easy to point out the spammers.
Would this be useful also for other kind of messages?

Oggetto: [atlas] Communication with probes' owners

Hi all!

 

From time to time I find probes which has incorrect country in their description. For example #10333 supposed to be in US but from my measurements it looks like it is somewhere nearby Amsterdam. If something has 10ms RTT to target in Amsterdam, has hops with `nl-ams14a-ri1-ae8-0.aorta.net` description and has ASN for LibertyGlobal then this probe is rather in Europe. It takes some time to resolve such issue via RIPE team so maybe we can get a form to send direct and short message to probe owner to let him/her know that something is wrong with his/her probe and we ask for verification. What do you think about that?

 

Regards,

Grzegorz
