RIPE Atlas measurements failing

Hi everyone,

Since the past couple of weeks I have been trying to run a traceroute measurement with 50-100 random probes but almost all of them (~95%) of the probes do not report back. It was working fine July and early August. The same time happens with NTP measurements.

For the NTP measurements, I havent able to run a successful measurements till now. I even tried using only anchors for both NTP and traceroute.

Below is the measurement I was trying: Traceroute to 2 probes using 50 random probes each. Can anyone tell me if I’m missing anything?

Hi,

Can you send me some measurement ID’s? That makes it easier to check. You can email them to me at jterbeest@ripe.net if you don’t want to share them publicy.

Thank you,

Cheers,
