I agree completely. The only question is, what are atlas probes supposed
to measure, Internet infrastructure or "eyeball" perspective of the
Internet? From what I see, the objective is somewhere in the middle with
probes installed both in datacentres (measuring infrastructure) as well
as at users homes (measuring eyeballs).
If measuring the users experience is legitimate use case, then it
shouldn't be problem to have some middleboxes on the way.
