Any realistic plans? for me, i judge a tool by its utility, not its modification rate. in many cases, i am studying things over long periods of time, and change is not welcome. note that i was initially a skeptic. as a pedantic experimentalist, i asked dfk what the experiment was. bzzt! wrong question. as an operator, i use atlas data daily: traceroutes, who can see what, does blovlovia see my dns, ...? as a researcher, i use it frequently, both for immediate measurements and for long historical tail. so i would turn your questions around. what do you want to see from atlas that you do not have today? randy
