Would a raspberry pi work for this?

Could 3D print a nice case with your logo for it.

The Pi has a bandwidth limit at 300mbits/sec due to a USB port being used.

I wonder if something like the RIPE Atlas probes could be flashed with suitable
code.  They're smaller than a Pi, and easy to set up - connect a USB power cord
and an RJ45 on some cat-5 and away you go.  Mine showed up with the two cords
needed and everything.
