Re: [atlas] j.root-servers.net ICMP?

Probably because the probe isn't trying to get an answer, it's trying to observe whether the node is up and what the latency is. So a failed ping is just as valuable as a successful ping. --Richard On Nov 3, 2011, at 10:59 AM, Marco Davids wrote:

Hi,

Can anyone elaborate on why my Atlas probe is still trying to ping j.root-servers.net, while this seems futile since a few weeks?
