Looking for sites interested in hosting a test-box

["Henk Uijterwaal (RIPE-NCC)" <]

Dear colleagues,

The Test-Traffic Project group is pleased to announce that 20 test-boxes have
been built and are ready to be installed at topologically interesting places
around Europe. These test-boxes measure the delays on the network by sending
time-stamped packets to each other. More information about the Test-Traffic
Project can be found on the home-page of the Test-Traffic Project at
http://www.ripe.net/test-traffic. 

If you are interested in hosting a test-box, please start by reading the RIPE
documents 168 (version 2.0) and 179, which should contain everything that you
need to know about hosting a test-box at your site. Both documents are
available from the Test Traffic project home-page. 

If your site can meet all requirements, please fill out the application form
at http://www.ripe.net/test-traffic/host_testbox.html.  If anything is
unclear or if your site is interested in hosting a test-box but cannot meet
all requirements, do not hesitate to contact us.  If you have already
expressed interest in hosting a test-box, please fill out the form too. 

It is our goal to distribute the test-boxes amongst topologically interesting
places, while at the same time keeping the location of the test-boxes
manageable from an operational point of view.  Also note that the number of
test-boxes is limited and that the project is still in a pilot phase.  This
means that we may decide that we will not install a test-box at your site
even though you applied for one. 

There is no deadline for applying.  We plan to review all applications in the
week after Easter (April 12) and let the interested sites know which sites
will receive a test-box.  We will continue to accept applications until all
test-boxes have been installed. 

Kind regards,

Henk Uijterwaal
