All -
I wonder whether this is a good idea or rather a really bad one...
I have a free port on a Freifunk router where I could plug in a RIPE
Atlas probe.
Freifunk is a community where you - amongst other things - can offer a
bit of your bandwidth to "the world". This connectivity sharing however
is set up as a tunnel to various ISPs (for-profit companies and
non-profit associations) as these would enjoy the "provider privilege":
that in short is not to be held accountable for e.g. copy right
infringements etc. ("Störerhaftung").
Anyhow: as part of this tunnel setup, the other end of the tunnel
changes every 24 to 48 hours - and so does the upstream and therefore
also the AS of the upstream provider.
And now I am asking myself: a probe with ever changing upstreams/ASs -
shall such an addition to the RIPE Atlas network be considered a fault
or a feature?
Any comments, anybody?
Cheers,
-C.
