Such people use more sophisticated algorithms to use probes that they are interested in and they refresh their private probe list every X days/weeks. Your probe looks quite fresh so probably you have to wait for cronjob to update researchers' probes lists ;)<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span lang="EN-GB">Your probe is pretty fresh so it doesn't have system tags like 'IPv4 Stable 1d' or 'IPv4 Stable 90d'. I know people that uses only probes with 'IPv4 Stable 30d' or better. Their argument is that they want to use only stable probes which can give them comparable samples over time. And this is a good approach if you have big measurement network but I personally think that Atlas is still too small in many countries so using only 'IPv4 Stable 30d' or better can heavily reduce number of samples that you get. Probes come and go so we should use whatever is available if our objective is to make large scale measurement globally.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">In short, don't worry. With time you should see more measurements. Remember also that for some researches your location and provider that you use can be just no interesting.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Grzegorz<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">From: </span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Antonios Chariton <daknob.mac@gmail.com><br> <b>Date: </b>Saturday 2018-08-25 at 15:17<br> <b>To: </b>Eren Türkay <turkay.eren@gmail.com><br> <b>Cc: </b>"ripe-atlas@ripe.net" <ripe-atlas@ripe.net><br> <b>Subject: </b>Re: [atlas] Getting More Traffic for Probe<o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> </div> <p class="MsoNormal">In general I believe the RIPE Atlas network is heavily underutilized.

Changing the available bandwidth from the RIPE Atlas page seems to not affect the bandwidth used. On the other hand, somehow the traffic is relatively constant at 7-8 Kb/s, and then moved up to like 8-9 Kb/s.. I do not think RIPE Atlas has 100% evenly distributed measurements, so there’s possibly some mechanism to distribute the load uniformly?<o:p></o:p></p> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><br> <br> <o:p></o:p></p> <blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt"> <div> <p class="MsoNormal">On 25 Aug 2018, at 15:02, Eren Türkay <<a href="mailto:turkay.eren@gmail.com">turkay.eren@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p> </div> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <div> <div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal">I am running a probe [0] at my home and I have 240Mbit connection from my provider.
