I just did a small experiment with the probe firmware. Allowing 240.0.0.0/4 and 0.0.0.0/8 is a two line change. I tested this on V3 and V4 probes and on CentOS 7. In all 3 cases, the linux kernel does support 240.0.0.0/4 and does not support 0.0.0.0/8.
so, what experiment(s) do you think would be useful once some capable probes deploy?
Traceroute seems to be the only measurement that makes sense. I noticed that my first hop router sends an error ICMP, but I don't get anything beyond that.
We are not going to releasing new firmware for V1 and V2 (except to address security issues).
i can not get to my v1 probes during covid lockdown even if you shipped replacements to me :( < snif >
Yes, it is amazing that corona doesn't seem to have much in the number of probes that are connected.
will you upgrade soft probes? or send instructions?
For a binary install of the CentOS RPM it should be automatic. For debian based, it is a matter of compiling a new .deb and upgrading (manually). Philip
