Hello NANOG,
We've launched Project BISMark, a project that performs active =
performance measurements of upload and download throughput, latency, =
etc. from OpenWRT-based routers running inside of homes. We have =
tested our OpenWRT image on the NetGear WNDR 3700v2 and are currently =
shipping out NetGear routers with the BISMark firmware to anyone who is =
interested.
1. If you're interested in receiving a NetGear WNDR 3700v2 with our =
measurement suite, please sign up on the project site. We are planning =
to give out more devices in mid-July.=20
You can watch a video about BISMark here:=20

project page above for the FCC Open Internet Application Challenge at =
the link above, we'd really appreciate your support.
