[Planetlab-users] Traffic Restrictions in Tulip, Ping and Traceroute?

[Adrian Suter]

Hello

I am using ping and tulip on the planet-lab nodes to measure loss rates. 
My question addresses mainly Planet-Lab system administrators. In ping I 
will send 100 probes per measurement (separated by default by 1 second). 
Are there any restrictions in terms of number of ICMP (ping) 
requests-replies per minute? I mean, how many different destinations 
(using the above scheme) can I ping at the same time, without bothering 
the Planet-Lab administrators?

Concerning tulip, I will send 50 to 100 probes per measurement, i.e. I 
will use the --count option. As I am only interested in two hops, I will 
also use the --start and --end options. Are there any restrictions in 
terms of number of tulip-probes per minute? I mean, how many different 
destinations (using the above scheme) can I tulip :-) at the same time, 
without bothering the Planet-Lab administrators?

And, what about traceroute? Are there any restrictions? I guess I can't 
traceroute to 100 different destinations every 5 seconds...
