The measurement techniques described thus far focus on performance within the bounds of a single network. While this is of course a challenge, what about efforts to measure performance _across_ networks? I'm not talking about NAP packet loss here, but a true measure of expected customer satisfaction.Expectations of customer satisfaction are aleph nul or likely aleph one.

Measurement of end user delivery are being done rather ad hack (hit the web site and see how high it bounces) by the folk at Intel, see Network Working Group J. Sedayao, Intel Corporation C.

May I also suggest people take a look a Treno. If used consistently and regularly it may give a rought estimate of connection quality for end users across networks.
