monthly information about probe availability
Dear All, We get this monthly e-mail about probe availability. This is great. But there are some questions. What exactly is getting measured? Is this a connection to some external site? Which could mean that there are other factors that could influence the measure (i.e. that external site is down, etc.) Kind regards Hans —

Hi Christian, many thanks for your answer. Do you know is this a single server ? What if the server is down ? Maybe it’s anycast. // Hans —

There is a collection of about 30 servers. When a server is down for longer time (a number hours) probes are automatically distributed over other servers. Philip
