Hello all, I've just become an ambassador for the RIPE Atlas programme. I have a question. I wish to deploy a number of probes to remote low-capacity satellite connected islands. These islands have strict and VERY expensive monthly usage quotas. Looking at some probes already installed, I see that the minimum bandwidth (is that the term used?) is approximately 3.3kbit/s This equates to around 1GB of data per month which represent a significant percentage of a consumer's monthly quota. I'll have a hard job convincing volunteers to act as hosts if they consume that much. Is there a way I can set 'bandwidth' to less than 10kbs or is there a workaround I can use to reduce this under my control? It has been suggested that I could out a timer on the host but that is nonworkable! Any help would be appreciated as I know that reachability is quite unreliable at times and the data I could provide would be most interesting.
