credit differences between probes?
howdy! (long time listener, first time caller...) I have some probes deployed, and for some period of time I was accruing credits at about the same rate per day per probe. Recently (last week or so?) I noticed that I now accrue at one rate for 1 device and a different rate for 2 other devices. The devices have been up for at least the last 24hrs: morrowc-fios 4 days, 5 hours 21.6k morrowc-comcast 1 week, 2 days 65.7k Atlas@deteque-IAD 3 weeks 21.6k (unsure why the fios one bobbled...but it's still be up for ~4days) Is this expected? or maybe I'm just in some wonky space with the accruals anyway?

These changed again, so there's some sort of algorithm which isn't clear to me (just a regular user). Currently the fios is accruing at: ~82k while the others are unchanged. I suppose: "it's an algorithm silly!" is a fine answer. (unsure why the fios one bobbled...but it's still be up for ~4days)

AFAIR, you gain credits from two things: 1. Just hosting the probe in working conditions. 2. Having your probe used in measurements. So, what you see is likely one probe being used for something. ;) Regards, Bruno

oh cool! ok, well I'm glad it's being used :)

Now that I’m back on a computer, I confirm what I said above and also can tell you that the detail is available at: https://atlas.ripe.net/user/credits/ You’ll see “Probe uptime” entries of 21600 (or below in case of downtime) and some “For results delivered” with various amounts. Regards, Bruno

Ah! ok, yes I see 21600 for just being alive and slightly different amounts for 'results delivered'. thanks for the pointer. -chris

I can confirm this to be "the algorithm" :-) This "bonus" was introduced a couple of years ago mostly because some probes are much more popular than others and it just seemed fair to recognise and rewaerd this. Regards, Robert
