Accessing traceroute data

[Saied Kazemi]

It seems like there is some confusion about accessing M-Lab's recent traceroutes due to a change in its datatype name.

Up until early September 2021, MDA traceroutes were archived in Google Cloud Storage (GCS) as "traceroute" datatype.  Since then, they are archived as "scamper1" datatype without any changes to the content.

You can visit the links below to access traceroute archives obtained by the "host", "ndt", and "neubot" experiments (replace $experiment accordingly).

Before 2021-09-11: https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/archive-measurement-lab/$expriment/traceroute

After 2021-09-11: https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/archive-measurement-lab/$experiment/scamper1

We will soon update the Traceroute page on M-Lab's website to cover the name change and also provide links to "scamper1" datatype.
