TL;DR: Is it OK to use Atlas anchors as random ping targets?

RIPE Atlas anchors are known and willing targets for measurements - so I'd say yes, definitely!

Would it be OK to choose the probe target by picking an Atlas anchor at random? (I have running code for that, but will not post it to github if there are objections.)

The anchors are in a full measurement mesh - meaning they ping and trace each other. Also, all anchors are assigned some probes to measure them. You can find these measurements on the anchors' pages. This may mean you don't need to set up new measurements. If so, it's always nicer to reuse existing data :-) Regards, Robert
