[Cake] Re: [LibreQoS] Re: [Starlink] Jason leaving Comcast after 30 years - thanks for all your amazing work on fixing bufferbloat!

[Jason Livingood <jason@thelivingoods.com>]

Thanks for the kind words! And on the RIPE Atlas probes - I was glad to
help. I think I personally shipped 50+ probes to Starlink users, so the
community could better collect measurement data about their performance
(and 100s of Atlas probes to ISPs over the years). :-)
