Too simple. What if that anchor is down, or the anchor host network has a network bottleneck towards the transit provider you are using?
well, I selected two anchors placed in two different NAPs where all ISPs in my scenario are present. so, not a big concern if one anchor is down. the other issue about possible bottlenecks is not applicable in that context.
So you need something that averages over multiple anchors - we used to do that via TTM ("if our TTM hosts can reach more than 80% of all other TTM hosts, we declare the Internet to be in good working condition" - note the "80%", because something is always down somewhere) but haven't come around to define & implement something based on ATLAS yet.
I like the idea and it should definitely be the way to go. thank you -- antonio
