If you want to run network measurements, you need to run them off of something.
For a whole measurement.network, that means building a whole network.
In this article, we will go into the infrastructure behind measurement.network, how it was built, and what it can do.
I'm a master's student in Computer Science at the University of Crete. My research focuses on Internet measurements, with an emphasis on BGP, Internet topology, and network latencies. More
