iphones are being used as reliable routers with 4g and wireless sharing failover so having background probe app , like twitter,email auto checking would be great colin Sent from my iPhone > On 29 Dec 2015, at 20:35, Micha Bailey <michabailey at gmail.com> wrote: > > I would imagine that having probe apps on mobile devices would be very impractical in terms of battery usage, unreliable connections, the device itself not being on/connected 24/7, etc. > In addition, I believe it would not be possible on iOS. You can't really have an app like this running full-time in the background. Only certain categories of apps are allowed to do this (e.g. GPS turn-by-turn navigation and audio players), and I can't imagine anything like an Atlas Probe will make it through App Review. > >> On Tuesday, December 29, 2015, Colin Johnston <colinj at mx5.org.uk> wrote: >> iphone virtual app probe would be great as well :) >> >> >> Sent from my iPhone >> >>> On 29 Dec 2015, at 19:49, Gil Bahat <gil at magisto.com> wrote: >>> >>> We also support the idea of expanding the network. If it's done in a modular fashion, users can pick their desired veracity levels to the task at hand. we'd like to see more information on mobile data as network uses shift a lot to mobile and (for various reasons) it's very hard to get current probes on such networks and ultimately having an ATLAS-like app might be the only realistic way to go about it. >>> >>> integration into open source platforms such as openwrt or the turris omnia would also be most welcome. >>> >>> Regards, >>> >>> Gil Bahat, >>> DevOps and Network Engineer, >>> Magisto Ltd. >>> >>>> On Tue, Dec 29, 2015 at 8:12 PM, Wilfried Woeber <woeber at cc.univie.ac.at> wrote: >>>> Dear Atlas Community! >>>> >>>> On 2015-12-21 12:02, Vesna Manojlovic wrote: >>>> > Dear colleagues, >>>> > >>>> > Some of you have asked about Virtual Probes on this list. >>>> >>>> Indeed :-) >>>> >>>> > Although we don't plan to make virtual probes available in 2016, >>>> > we do plan to investigate this idea and develop some prototypes. >>>> >>>> Fair enough. >>>> >>>> > Please find more details on RIPE Labs: >>>> >>>> I'll try to put my thoughts into some well-structured words, over there. >>>> I hope to succeed, but no premature promises yet... >>>> >>>> > https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/exploring-the-idea-of-ripe-atlas-virtual-probes >>>> > >>>> > Kind regards, >>>> > Vesna Manojlovic >>>> > RIPE NCC >>>> >>>> All the best for (2015)++ >>>> Wilfried -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
