Thanks for replies everyone! I completely agree to what you are saying and I think Tomas hits it right saying that I anyway have 19ms latency hence result would be messy. So no over thinking, I kept location as where Probe physically is and updated it with "point-to-point" tag. :) Thanks again for suggestions.
