Hello:
I currently host a probe (#14102) at my residence. I will soon move to a new residence about 450 miles from the current location.
Such a move will necessarily alter measurements obtained relative to past ones (as well as ASN, geolocation, etc.).
Should the existing probe identity be retired in favor of a new identity? (And if so how might that be accomplished?)
There is no need to retire the previous identity when you move. Just plug in the probe at the new location and make sure to update the probe location at:
https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/14102/
If however you really want to start over as if it’s a new probe, we could accommodate that. Usually this is not needed but it can be a good idea if you switch internet providers or change countries. If that is the case, let us know and we’ll make it happen.
Kind regards,
Johan
