[atlas] packet loss seen by probes to labs.ripe.net?

> So, in other words: The Atlas probes themselves are turning into a DDOS botnet?

Daniel,

We are very conscious that we need to prevent RIPE Atlas from being used in
a malicious way, including it being used for DDOS attacks.

There are a number of features in the design that prevent that from happening:
- probes are low power compared to real bots
- the control infrastructure is reasonably secure against the expected threats
- user defined measurements can/will be rate limited per destination

The "built-in" measurements we are executing currently are rate limited by
the rate of deployment: all probes do exactly the same measurements.
However, if this becomes a problem, we can change the amount and
distribution of these measurements.

Regards,
Robert
