Incorrect location of a probe
Hi RIPE Atlas. Have a happy new year! I'd like to know how you can report a probe that has a bad geolocation. It's #29811 that appears in southern Chile, but its AS and traceroutes appear to be in Canada. Unfortunately it affects all measurements that try to group geographically by country :( If the host does not cooperate, could a system tag be added indicating "suspicious location"? Thanks a lot! Hugo

Hello, Yes there is such a procedure. I just added this probe to it, so it's now tagged as "system-geoloc-disputed". The host has been notified and depending on their reaction the tag may/will change. If you or others have other probes that are likley wrongly geolocated, the please let us know at atlas@ripe.net and we'll add them to this procedure. Regards, Robert
I cannot even count how many probes like this I already reported. This tag is super useful, thanks! BTW is there a final decision how new probes in Hong Kong will be marked? From what I remember they are marked as China.
