Matt Mathis, sparkplug of the IPPM, invented "wping" which is useful but dangerous to use because of loading. Then there is treno, Matt's latest tool. From a note by Matt to IPPM list: " ... send a note to [email protected] >From the draft charter: The IPPM WG will develop a set of standard metrics that can be applied to the the quality, performance and reliability of an IP datagram service. These metrics will be designed such that they can be performed by the providers themselves, customers, potential customers or independent testing groups.
