Folks- I sent the following note out the Internet Measurement Research Group (of the IRTF) mailing list last week. I'd love to hear from operations folk on these sorts of question... i.e., what would you love to be able to measure that you can't do terribly effectivly today? If you're interested in participating the mailing list is imrg@ietf.org. You can see the archive, subscription info, etc. at http://imrg.grc.nasa.gov/.

Organization: BBN Technologies/NASA GRC Song-of-the-Day: Lucky Ones Date: Wed, 02 Jul 2003 12:30:00 -0400 Sender: mallman@guns.lerc.nasa.gov I am interested in seeing some discussion about the fairly generic topic of what sorts of outstanding problems exist in Internet measurement: What are the core problems we need to solve? What do we need to be able to measure that we cannot measure very well today? Why? What are the problems in taking measurements? What can be done about those problems? What are practical problems that prevent wide-scale network measurement? What new tools does the community need to take, use, share and store measurements? Please jump in with answers o any or all of the above. Or, even with additional big-picture sorts of questions of your own. Thanks! allman (imrg chair) - -- Mark Allman -- BBN/NASA GRC -- http://roland.grc.nasa.gov/~mallman/ ------- End of Forwarded Message
