Abstract

Requirements for a measurement platform nowadays have advanced to the level at which a number of different in principle measurement techniques have to be performed simultaneously. Quite common are hybrids of passive data collections and event-driven active measurements. This calls for a highly extensible measurement platform, in which design of the probe and parameters of probing could be accessible in realtime while the measurement itself is being performed. In this paper, we introduce a testbed application that was developed with the initial requirement to be fit for a number of different applications, such as bandwidth measurement, performance prediction, tomography, and others, without a loss of performance characteristics.
