Hi RIPE Atlas team,
I’m running an open-research measurement project comparing
latency from Amsterdam-based hosting providers (VPS, dedicated,
cloud) to Cloudflare-protected APIs (CIDR 138.249.21.0/24).
So far I have catalogued 2,657 ASNs with declared presence in
Amsterdam metro (PeeringDB facility or AMS-IX/NL-ix/Frys-IX/ERA-IX
membership). Of those, Globalping has probes in 247 ASN, looking.house
covers another 16, and ~983 retail ASNs still need an independent
RTT probe.
Atlas has by far the best EU coverage for these provider networks,
so I’d like to run a one-shot ping measurement per ASN
(probes.requested=1, type=asn, is_oneoff=true, 4 packets).
Estimated cost ~10 credits/measurement × 983 ASN ≈ 10,000 credits.
Could the community help me with ~20,000 credits (some headroom for
retries and re-probes after a few weeks)?
My Atlas API key UUID: ad79cb48-6ff0-4274-934e-5b39dacba926
(receiver for transfer).
The aggregated dataset will be published as open CSV with provider
ASN → RTT mapping, so other researchers can use it.
Thanks!
