What features are you thinking that would be useful? Latency, QoS, Tracert,=
AS Hops, etc? Many networks have the OOkla speedtest server hung off a lin=
k from their website or even some flavor of a Looking Glass site. Having ye=
t another platform maybe difficult for the ISP to participate, even then it=
would be placed at or near the core of their network and not out with the =
end users. Maybe with some incentive you could get end users (aka the Eyeba=
lls) to plug in something small like a Raspberry Pi device or run a softwar=
e app on their computers. But if the end users on the various networks won'=
t get anything from it, you are going to be struggling to have enough take =
rate to have good statistics. You may find that the only ones interested ar=
e a small set of network operators.

Subject: EyeBall View
All,
I had an idea to create a product where we would have a host on every EyeBa=
ll network. Customers could then connect to these hosts and check connectiv=
ity back to their network. For instance you may want to see what the speed =
is like from CableVision in central NJ to your network in South Florida or =
the latency etc. I go large scale I wanted to know how much demand there wa=
s for such a service.
Regards,
Dovid
