All,

I had an idea to create a product where we would have a host on every EyeBall network. Customers could then connect 
to these hosts and check connectivity back to their network. For instance you may want to see what the speed is like 
from CableVision in central NJ to your network in South Florida or the latency etc. I go large scale I wanted to know 
how much demand there was for such a service.



There appear to be a few things like this, eg: Raintank and the RIPE Atlas project that have fairly diverse views.  I’m 
not aware of anything with perfect penetration.

With RIPE Atlas it’s roll your own, where Raintank is SaaS.

I’m sure there are others, but these are the two I’m aware of.
