Neubot


Neubot is a free software Internet bot, developed and maintained by the Nexa Center for Internet and Society, that gathers network performance data useful to investigate network neutrality.

Description

Once installed on the user's computer, it runs in the background and periodically performs active transmission tests with servers hosted by the distributed Measurement Lab server platform. These transmission tests measure end-to-end network performance emulating different protocols as well as transmitting and receiving "raw" data over TCP. Performance are measured at application level as well as at TCP level.
Measurements results are saved both locally and on Measurement Labservers. They are collected for research purposes
and automatically published on the web
under Creative Commons Zero allowing anyone to re-use them freely for the same purpose.
