Mark Allman: Internet measurement: what next?

[Mark Allman <mallman () grc nasa gov>]

Folks-

I sent the following note out the Internet Measurement Research
Group (of the IRTF) mailing list last week.  I'd love to hear from
operations folk on these sorts of question... i.e., what would you
love to be able to measure that you can't do terribly effectivly
today?

If you're interested in participating the mailing list is
imrg () ietf org.  You can see the archive, subscription info, etc. at
http://imrg.grc.nasa.gov/.  

Thanks!

allman

I am interested in seeing some discussion about the fairly generic
topic of what sorts of outstanding problems exist in Internet
measurement:

    What are the core problems we need to solve?  
    What do we need to be able to measure that we cannot measure
      very well today?  
    Why?  
    What are the problems in taking measurements?  
    What can be done about those problems?
    What are practical problems that prevent wide-scale network
      measurement?
    What new tools does the community need to take, use, share and
      store measurements?

Please jump in with answers o any or all of the above.  Or, even
with additional big-picture sorts of questions of your own.

Thanks!
