Is it possible to perform RIPE Atlas measurements with a key "-A" that shows the number of autonomous systems?
No, there's no support for this on the probes. It'd be pretty expensive for to do this on the fly, as it involves a lookup (into BGP or IRRs) for virtually every packet received.
But it would be possible to annotate the results in some way, when storing them or when you access them. Is this something that would be interesting for others too?
Annotations would make sense and it would be interesting to me. Otoh, this is also something that can be easily implemented on a case-by-case basis by atlas users in their own scripts when parsing the RIPE atlas probe results.
I entirely agree. To me, the right place to implement this sort of smarts is on the client side's userland. The new github community repo is a good starting point in that direction. I, for one, would be comfortable using a client* that would perform all the transformations/operations locally after consuming vanilla data straight from the Atlas API.
