Yes, this should be sufficient for now. Thanks to everyone who has chipped in. :)

Certainly happy though to step in if there is additional need by you or, of course, by anybody else for another research project. Cheers, -C. Am 14.

I am planning to run 30 traceroutes + dns from 90 (starlink) + 90 (terrestrial) probes for a period of a month. It would come around 15-20M credits per day. So, in total around 450-600M credits would be used. Best regards, Rohan From: Carsten Schiefner <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, 14.

Could you please guesstimate your need, so that donors would neither over- nor underspend? Thanks, best - and good luck and success! -C.

My research efforts are focused towards understanding LEO satellite network behavior and performance. Our earlier work has investigated general Starlink network performance with the help of RIPE Atlas platform and contributed our understanding to the community: https://labs.ripe.net/author/nitinder-mohan/a-multifaceted-look-at-starlink-performance-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/ For more details I urge you to go through our publication: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3589334.3645328. More recently, I aim to uncover CDN performance characteristics for Starlink users across the world. The objective is to investigate latencies to CDN servers for different CDN providers and CDN server selections for Starlink users in different regions. CDN server selections can be highly dependent on the DNS resolver selection. Hence, I also want to have a look at the DNS responses for CDN hosted domains when targeting different public resolvers. Furthermore, a comparison with current terrestrial network deployment is also crucial in understanding the impact that LEO satellite networks have on remote areas. In order to run such a large-scale measurement on Atlas, I am in need of credits. I would appreciate if community folks would be willing to donate some extra RIPE Atlas credits and support the measurement work, I have outlined here. My Atlas account id is linked with this email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. Thanks much! I would appreciate any help coming from the community. Best regards, Rohan Bose
