These are "open" projects that ISPs can join to monitor performance between networks, I would recommend joining those instead of reinventing the wheel.
I don't how much scope or interest there would be just for a raw speed test between networks though, however if enough networks really wanted it you could talk to the guys running the NL Ring (if it isn't already a feature, you could develop it there).
I'm not sure if RIPE allow ISPs from outside Europe to join the Atlas project, if not ARIN could start one, it's been very successful here in Europe.
There are Atlas probes all over the world. I have one here in Sydney connected via Optus and HE (San Hose). I'm just waiting for HE to complete bringing up their Sydney POP and hopefully with that tunnel end points as Optus doesn't appear to be intending to deliver IPv6 anytime soon. Hopefully with the NBN saying they are taking over the HFC we might get IPv6 as I think that the NBN as caused ISP's to stall upgrades to support IPv6. Mark
