Yes, it's very closely related, and we've been in close contact with =
them (we have a paper upcoming at SIGCOMM that is based on the US data =
that we've jointly authored).
One of the differences is that the platform is open / open-source. For =
example, anyone would be able to develop and run their own tests from =
the box.
Another difference is that we're looking into a variety of other things =
(e.g., measurements of performance inside the home, deployments in other =
regions, maybe ultimately passive measurements if we can figure out how =
to balance the more sensitive aspects of that). Our goal is to have =
some sets of tests that are running/could be run on either platform. =
We're interested in helping to improve the tests that are run on the SK =
routers, as well. =20
