I'm working on a requirements document for InternetNZ for a "Network Measurement Lab" attempting to specify useful testing and measurement facilities for NZ. It's one of the items on the InTAC agenda in Auckland next month and this type of facility is firmly in the agenda. There's a number of possibilities here: 1) The RIPE ATLAS project (https://atlas.ripe.net/) has a facility that allows RIPE members to request a traceroute from multiple probes to a destination. The current system will pass the work out to around 700 probes and return a traceroute result set some time later. Perhaps we could seek to deploy something like the RIPE Atlas probes around the country or even better push something across the APNIC region. There's already a dozen or so of these probes in NZ. 2) Gaurab posted something here the other day about NLNOG RING - that's another option. Whatever we come up with let's find a way to make it possible for people to easily run such tests and make the data and the results public as a way to improve our network quality.
