I cannot even count how many probes like this I already reported. This tag is super useful, thanks!

 

BTW is there a final decision how new probes in Hong Kong will be marked? From what I remember they are marked as China.

Hi RIPE Atlas. Have a happy new year!

 

I'd like to know how you can report a probe that has a bad geolocation.

 

It's #29811 that appears in southern Chile, but its AS and traceroutes

appear to be in Canada. Unfortunately it affects all measurements that

try to group geographically by country :(

 

If the host does not cooperate, could a system tag be added indicating

"suspicious location"?

 

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

 

Yes there is such a procedure. I just added this probe to it, so it's

now tagged as "system-geoloc-disputed". The host has been notified and

depending on their reaction the tag may/will change.

 

If you or others have other probes that are likley wrongly geolocated,

the please let us know at atlas@ripe.net and we'll add them to this

procedure.

Robert
