Dear RIPE NCC, for my ping measurements, I incremented the number of sent packets to 16. Now I noticed that in the measurement with the ID 28779821, the probes didn't always send 16 packets, sometimes, albeit rarely, only 7 or 3. Below you see an extract of the packets_sent data of Probe 52673. Now I wanted to ask what could possibly be the reason for that phenomena. Kind regards, Debora Probe: 52673 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 5, 1, 9, 16, 16, 16, 14, 16, 16, 16, 16, 8, 13, 6, 7, 6, 6, 16, 16, 12, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 10, 11, 10, 7, 6, 16, 4, 16, 16, 16, 16, 4, 7, 15, 6, 9, 12, 11, 7, 8, 11, 6, 5, 13, 13, 13, 5, 10, 16, 16, 7, 7, 9, 7, 7, 7, 9, 16, 16, 11, 4, 7, 16, 7, 2, 8, 16, 4, 6, 8, 16, 7, 8, 6, 5, 8, 8, 9, 8, 7, 4, 3, 10, 1, 2, 11, 6, 16, 8, 12, 6, 11, 10, 11, 8, 12, 12, 12, 11, 8, 16, 6, 5, 5, 9, 10, 6, 10, 7, 9, 10, 9, 11, 8, 8, 11, 7, 12, 7, 11, 9, 13, 2, 10, 12, 10, 7, 9, 16, 13, 5, 4, 7, 8, 6, 5, 7, 6, 7, 9, 9, 9, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 4, 9, 4, 6, 8, 6, 11, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, <https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/28931367/>
