Number of packets now ignored for ICMP tests?
I asked just one packet: {'definitions': [{'description': 'Ping 2001:67c:217c:6::2 from AS #3215', 'af': 6, 'packets': 1, 'type': 'ping', 'is_oneoff': True, 'target': '2001:67c:217c:6::2'}], 'probes': [{'requested': 500, 'type': 'asn', 'value': '3215', 'tags': {'include': ['system-ipv6-works']}}]} But, for the nine probes that were selected, I got 27 tests, which is the default of 3 packets per probe. Strange. Measurement #3083491

Hi Stephane, Unfortunately there was a regression which was preventing this option from being honoured. We have now fixed this, so new measurements will not have this problem. Sorry for the inconvenience. Kind regards, Chris Amin RIPE NCC

When I give Atlas tutorials, I always say to the programmers "Do not assume, measure and test" I've seen code where the user looped over the results only for the number of requested packets...
