What is M-Lab, and why?
Measurement Lab (M-Lab) is an open, distributed server platform for researchers to deploy Internet measurement tools. If you’re an Internet user, the tools running on M-Lab servers can help you test your broadband connection, including measuring its speed and evaluating the performance of certain applications. When you run a test, you will also provide valuable data back to researchers. The goal of M-Lab is to advance research and empower the public with useful information about their broadband connections. By enhancing Internet transparency, we aim to help sustain a healthy, innovative Internet.
