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
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/ [1]) 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
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
I have one of their probes and the certainly work well. All you need is a USB and ethernet port to run one. Having never done it before I have put a traceroute request in, will post what results they give you once it finishes.
