Can anyone help (reciprocally would be fine) by providing permission to use ICMP Echo and HTTP GET requests against something on their network (that is well connected and reliable)
This is a very good idea. If you want to use www.gitoyen.net, ask me in private.
PS I know this is NANOG, but I am even more interested in hearing from UK and European networks.
Unfortunately, there is no such list for Europe :-( The closest is lir-wg@ripe.net which talks more about bureaucratic issues and less about technical ones.
PPS If people are willing to offer this as a 'public' service, I will happily summarise back to the list and/or build a web site with details.
A Web site to exchange easily beacon hosts would be a great idea. That's why I reply in public.
