We have all seen the results of the survey now and there is a lot of opinion that there are many flaws in the logic. So the question is what is a legitimate test? I remember At the Ann Arbor NANOG there was a report on a project to test reachability, what is the current status of that
Phil: Actually, you have hardly seen ANY of the results of the test. This is probably what has me stymied. You saw a very very simple, summary listing of the average download times comparing 29 networks, issued in a two page press release. The RESULTS of the Survey are contained in TWO articles with about 35 PAGES OF GRAPHS, and ten pages of text or so answering most of this. Copies will go out next week. That there is a lot of opinion of flaws in the logic, absolutely predating any of these people SEEING the results, is awe inspiring. Jack Rickard ---------- project?
Is there any strong consensus to perform a similar test that is engineered without the flaws in this test?

still more awe inspiring is the release of such obviously useless and misleading data which is then defended on the basis of vapor stats nobody outside of your organization has seen. spout all you want about the data to be released RSN. until we see it, you should probably stop babbling.
