Short content description
-------------------------

In RIPE-158, we presented a proposal to do Internet performance
measurements using test traffic generated by test-boxes. This document is
intended for ISP's interested in hosting a test-box. It describes the
requirements for hosting a test-box at an ISP. It also describes the
installation and day-to-day management of such a test-box. After reading
this document, one should be able to judge if one can successfully host a
test-box at a site.  This document is not a formal request asking which
sites are interested in hosting a test-box. 

Accessing the RIPE document store
---------------------------------

The RIPE document store is available via anonymous FTP to ftp.ripe.net, in
the directory ripe/docs.  The URLs for the new documents on the FTP-server
are:

You can also access the RIPE documents in HTML format via WWW, at the
following URL:

Documents can also be retrieved from the RIPE document store using a mail
