[RIPE Atlas Ambassadors] Deploying RIPE Atlas probes in more locations and networks

Hi DP,

from my personal point of view there are a couple of reasons why we are deploying
probes (both the candy size as well as the anchor-version):

- straight-forward comparison of IPv4 vs. IPv6 performance

- analysis of raw data and "pre-cooked" visual presentation, you just need one
  quick glance to decide whether "everything's fine" or needs some attention,
  ° in particular rtt and packet drop to instances of DNS root servers, where
  ° there's not necessarily an immediate noticeable impact on user experience

- quick feedback on the (desired | undesired) effects of routing (planned or
  accidental) changes

UDMs have been mentioned already, iirc, and while I think the concept is GREAT,
I usually don't have the spare cycles to use them as much as I should or could ;-)

Hth,
Wilfried
