Greetings, NANOG. Happy Saturday to all. I am running a DOCSIS network that has a noisy cable plant. I want to be able to substantiate and quantify users' bandwidth issues. I would like a set of inexpensive probes that I could place at selected customer's homes/businesses that would on a scheduled basis perform bandwidth tests.
The RIPE Atlas project uses TP-Link TL-MR3020 minirouters reprogramed to be network probes collecting data not unlike what you're interested in. They are $28 apiece at Amazon so I'd expect them to be under $20 in any quantity. RIPE gives away the source code here: https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/source-code/ R's, John
