BISMark routers, as part of the M-Lab project, will continuously take measurements of a user’s ISP performance. And according to Nick Feamster (Computer Science), very soon users will have a web page they can go to to explore these measurements.
Tuesday, July 19, 2011
Nick Feamster (Computer Science) and other researchers working on the BISMark project have just released a BISmark measurement router which monitors the performance of the internet. Because this is done through a router, researchers will be able to distinguish between performance issues caused by an ISP or a user's home network.
