Subject: RE: New Non-WG Mailing List: lmap -- Large Scale Measurement of Access network Performance

I will be providing more details and background shortly, but in short, this is motivated by the FCC "Measuring Broadband America" effort (http://www.fcc.gov/measuring-broadband-america). The goal is to provide consumers and service providers with better information about broadband (access) performance. Such measurements can inform public policy, facilitate informed consumer choice of broadband providers, and allow debugging of performance issues.

Please join the discussion on the list if you're interested in this topic.

Subject: New Non-WG Mailing List: lmap -- Large Scale Measurement of Access     network Performance

A new IETF non-working group email list has been created.

List address: [email-masked]
Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/lmap/
To subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/lmap

Purpose: This list is for discussing requirements, architectures, metrics,
and protocols for measuring the performance and reliability of
(mostly) residential and small-enterprise access links on a large
scale. The discussions may lead to a BoF and eventual working group.

For additional information, please contact the list administrators.
