Hello,
I am running a number of one-off measurements and all what I request is 200 probes. However, I see a fluctuation in the number of participating probes (sometimes I get 198 and sometimes as low as 175). Any idea what is the issue?
Thanks a lot, Rami
Hi, There's no single best answer to this. It can be that you actually got the probes you wanted, but the results were delivered later than expected (see here: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ripe-atlas/2019-April/003937.html) It's also possible that the system didn't allocate the probes to you -- either because they were too busy at certain times, or we couldn't talk to them, or there are not enough probes in general to satisfy your request. It's hard to tell what's the exact cause from this distance. Hope this helps, Robert
