[atlas] Incorrect location of a probe

I cannot even count how many probes like this I already reported. This tag is super useful, thanks!

BTW is there a final decision how new probes in Hong Kong will be marked? From what I remember they are marked as China.

Grzegorz

Hi RIPE Atlas. Have a happy new year!

I'd like to know how you can report a probe that has a bad geolocation.

It's #29811 that appears in southern Chile, but its AS and traceroutes
appear to be in Canada. Unfortunately it affects all measurements that
try to group geographically by country :(

If the host does not cooperate, could a system tag be added indicating
"suspicious location"?

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

Yes there is such a procedure. I just added this probe to it, so it's
now tagged as "system-geoloc-disputed". The host has been notified and
depending on their reaction the tag may/will change.

If you or others have other probes that are likley wrongly geolocated,
the please let us know at atlas at ripe.net<mailto:atlas at ripe.net> and we'll add them to this
procedure.

Regards,
Robert
