<div>There is no need to retire the previous identity when you
move. Just plug in the probe at the new location and make
sure to update the probe location at: <a

<div>If however you really want to start over as if it’s a new
probe, we could accommodate that. Usually this is not needed
but it can be a good idea if you switch internet providers
or change countries. If that is the case, let us know and
we’ll make it happen.</div>

<p>Thank you for the reply.<br>

<p>The new internet accommodation, IPv4 NAT environment (unavoidably
×2 without some effort on my part as well as that of the ISP), its
speed, and its latency at the new location will be substantially
different than the former location. The old location was a cable
internet provider; the new location is at one end of a ~4.5km PtP
wireless link with fiber backhaul at the head end.<br>
</p>
<p>I will first ensure probe function at the new location and then,
perhaps after a week or so of stabilization, ask that it be
considered a novel probe installation. I will not have the probe
physically relocated until next weekend. I may also ask the ISP if
they would consider hosting the probe on their infrastructure core
(perhaps with a transfer).<br>
