Dear All,
You may have noticed a small hickup in RIPE Atlas measurement
scheduling: between yesterday around 22:30 and today 10:30 (CEST) the
measurements participants have not been properly recorded in our
metadata store.
This had virtually no impact on your measurements, but we're aware that
some of you have eagle eyes for such details so we wanted to inform you
regardless.
Interesting background info for the curious: after more than 10 years of
bookkeeping we basically exhausted the 32 bit ID space in our main
database for confirming probe participation in the measurements... so we
needed to upgrade the relevant fields and processes around it ahead of
schedule. (The original plan was to do this for in all locations before
EOY, perhaps even in the coming weeks.)
Regards,
Robert Kisteleki
