Jason,

Thank you!

Yes this is now on the list of "Other research projects. . ."

I believe the goal is to provide a number of public measurement servers for an autonomous system.  Sorta like iperf but 
by using existing web servers; that's what makes it novel.

Say you have connectivity problems to 149.142.x.x.  Searching SASM for that IP will generate a list of public web 
servers within the same autonomous system.  You can then review performance for the servers or run a test on demand to 
assess end-to-end connectivity.

It does have an interesting appeal to it from an attackers mindset, but you could cull the same data elsewhere... 
Shodan or even Google for that matter.

Just another research project.. ?
