Indeed. I already suspected such a feature, because I was in need for
such a feature, but I failed to make a proper regexp without a working
example. Finally I made it:

https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/3071123/?filter=&diversity-picker=4&aggregator=tld-tirol-%28...%29\d#!map

But it is difficult to find out where a probe gets routed too, as the
colors are sometimes quite similar. Thus it would be great to add the
NSID to the probe details (as requested some days ago). Or even better:
on "mouse over" a probe display the NSID (or the serial, depending on
the choosen dataset).
