Yesterday, on WebWorkerDaily, I wrote about Measurement Lab. It's a partly Google-backed initiative to give Internet users and researchers free measurement tools that can help quantify what kinds of service they?re getting from ISPs, and much more. One of its goals is to help identify instances where ISPs are throttling bandwidth, and it collects a number of free, quick diagnostic tools for making these determinations.? This project has a number of backers, and strikes me as a perfect opportunity for the open source community to contribute tools and diagnostic applications to the effort.
