“You do not mention the use of RIPE Atlas probes. Is the user tag "iwantbcp38compliancetesting" still useful/used?”
Thank you for taking the time to read my article and providing valuable feedback. Although I did consider discussing RIPE Atlas probes in my article, I ultimately chose to focus on the currently available methods for measuring BCP38. Regarding the "iwantbcp38compliancetesting" tag, while it was introduced in the past, it unfortunately never materialized. Nevertheless, if there is enough interest from the community, it could be worth exploring the possibility of implementing it in RIPE Atlas probes in the future. Once again, thank you for your comment and feel free to share any other insights or suggestions you may have.
