Dear colleagues, I have now exceeded the number of credits we estimate will be needed for the experiment we are planning. Many thanks to everyone who transferred their credits for your readiness to help and such a quick response! Cheers, Michael

Folks,
I teach computer science at Case Western Reserve University. I have a group of students working on a research project to characterize certain aspects of DNS and HTTP interactions on the Web. To get a representative measurement, we need to resolve hostnames from top-1M websites from a large number of widely dispersed probes. So we need a large amount of credits and I was wondering if I could ask folks for help. My back of the envelop calculations suggest we are short of ~200M credits. I realize it’s a large amount, but we would take any help we can get and will conduct as credible measurement as we can with the credits we assemble! Please note that my RIPE Atlas account is associated with mail alias misha@case.edu <mailto:misha@case.edu> (not the default email address I am sending from), so please use “misha@case.edu <mailto:misha@case.edu>” for credit transfer if you can help.
Many thanks in advance! Regards, Michael Rabinovich
