From the site description :
Measurement Lab (
M-Lab ) is an open, distributed server platform for researchers designed to deploy measuring instruments. The main goal ofM-Lab is to expand the study of the network and provide users with useful information about their connection to the Internet. By increasing the transparency of the Internet,M-Lab helps maintain cleanliness on the Internet.
Here is what
User Tools
Many researchers are already developing tools that allow users to explore their connection using a server locatedsomewhere on the Internet. TheM-Lab platform will help in the distribution of these tools.
Open platform for researchers
M-Labs helpsresearch scientists by providing distributed servers and extensive research capabilities. A resource on theM-Lab platform will be allocated for each instrument to improve the quality of measurements. Tools for use on servers will be openly licensed and manageable, which will allow third parties to develop their own client software for measurements.
Open to all
All data collected in theM-Lab will be available to the research community and will expand the research network.
