Hi,

There are two issues:

The first is that by default, the software probe does not report traffic
statistics. This is done to protect people who install a software probe
on a router. The readme in the software probe repo describes how to
enable reporting of traffic statistics
(https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-software-probe/blob/master/README.rst)

The second reason is that our processing of traffic statistics needs to
be improved, to avoid reporting statistics on down-stream interfaces of
a router. We made some changes to make this happen but not all code is
there yet.
