Hello, I’ve been doing some tests on anycasted networks, and I’ve been hitting an error which doesn’t allow me to assign more then 500 probes to a measurement, is there a way to have this unlocked? I presume it is a default protection to not cause issues to hosts being probed? Thank you. :) - Marco

Correct, it's one of the safety measures to keep resource use fair. As a related note: ultimately we want to change to a "max results asked per day" metric instead of max probes and measurements. We're almost ready -- let us know (atlas@ripe.net) if you want to volunteer as a tester for this! Cheers, Robert
Hi Marco If you look at the bottom of https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/udm/#rate-limits you can see the email link to contact the RIPE Atlas team to propose your test and they can (and will) unlock to allow for testing like you seem to be talking about. I was approved to use this for a full network test of Google DNS Anycasting (I was specifically looking to find the prevalence of ISP's imposing their own DNS servers as the Google 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). I am fairly sure I have those test results public so if that is useful to you then feel free to collect and use the data. If you can't find it let me know and I will check the references for you of the tests.
