It seems a bit odd to me that I can't do custom measurements on our server because others are already doing some.
P.S. while I understand this is probably done to protect the server in question, I would like to see a better way to deal with this than just a "hard stop" at 10 measurements. Perhaps a way to negotiate a higher amount of UDMs possible for a given server? As it is now, this feels a like a DoS that is very easy to achieve.
We've been getting more probes up recently, and we even ordered a RIPE Atlas Anchor box so that we can do a decent amount of UDMs on our own servers, but with this limitation in place, I'm fearing disappointment.
There’s some tricks to work around this. The easiest is to have a DNS name that points at the IP, or the RIPE folk have been able to adjust the limit in the past. I have some anycasted IPs I asked them to increase the limit for. - Jared
