Next: 2 Requirements for hosting Up: Internet Delay Measurements using Previous: Internet Delay Measurements using

1 Introduction

In a previous document [1], we described a proposal to do Internet performance measurements using test traffic. The test traffic used in this project is generated by test-boxes installed at the ISP's participating in this project.

This document lists the requirements that have to be met before one can host a test-box. It also gives details about installation and day-to-day operation of the test-box. This document will be updated as we gain more experience with the installation and operation of the test-boxes. The latest version will always be available from our website (http://www.ripe.net/test-traffic/) . This document is intended to solicit input from interested parties. It should provide all information that one might have to know before installing a test-box. If you think that our requirements are unreasonable or impractical, do not hesitate to contact us.

A formal request asking for sites interested in hosting a test-box has been sent around in the spring of 1998 and will be followed by a second request early 1999.
