Looking for advise and temporarily limits increment for research
To whom it may help, My name is Yihao. I am a Ph.D. student. Recently I am doing a research with RIPE Atlas. However, my research requires many measurements in a short period, which breaks several rules of the Rate Limits. Since I really like and in hurry to use Atlas to support my research, is there any advice I can get from this? I'd like to describe why it would be necessary for my research. And if possible, may I get a temporarily limit increment for 10 days? Many thanks, Yihao Jia
Hi Jia, did you read the mail vom Chris Amin from yesterday? I guess that should answer everything. I'd get in touch with Chris and discuss the rest directly. Cheers, Peter.
Hey Peter, Thanks for the help! I did send an email to Chris Amin (camin@ripe.net), but there might be some problem with my Gmail system and I cannot get his reply, or just because he is busy these hours. I am sorry that I am in a hurry for this issue, and my research system involves several parts and they work simultaneously, while the limit regulation of RIPE atlas part fails the process of my whole system every day. And I really need to deal with this. Since I haven't connected to Chris yet, could you help me ping him and loop me back in any possible way? Thanks, Yihao (below is the email I sent to Chris yesterday.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Chris, Thank for helping me! I am a Ph.D. student. The reason why I try to launch so many measurements is just for research. And I wish the rate limits could be temporarily increased for 10 days, since I probably might exceed most of these rules. Generally, my research is like this. --- Part 1. I have 860 targets to ping, and thus 730 measurements. And for each target, I would like to use a fixed set of 100 probes in the measurement. For each of the measurement, I'd like the target to be Pinged by these 100 probes on every 1 hour, and the measurement is planned to stop 12 hours later after the measurement start. Thus, if one probe sent 3 packets at each ping, the total credits will be 3,096,000 (730*12*100*3=3,096,000). Part 2. This looks like a random measurement. My research is about an Internet anomalies detection system. So every time my system triggers an alarm, (the alarm would set for 1 of the 730 targets), I'd like to start an instant, and probably one-off measurement from the previous 100 probes to the alarmed target. The question is this anomalies detection system is still under improvement, so I don't exactly know how many measurements might concurrently be started at the same time. --- (The 730 targets are elaborately selected and necessary to me because I need the dataset as many as possible to examine the accuracy of the system) I check the rules at: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/udm/#rate-limits It makes me feel like I might exceed many rules intentionally or unintentional. Considering I am in a huge hurry to examine this system, I'd very like the limits for these rules be temporarily increased. I appreciate every suggestion and help on this!

Hi Yihao, I'd just wait a couple more days since the email was sent on a Friday, and he might not have seen it yet. Best, -Michael On Sat, Jul 21, 2018 at 4:32 PM, Yihao Jia <yhjia03@gmail.com> wrote:
