DipZoom: An Internet Measurements Marketplace

I will describe and show a demo of DipZoom (for “Deep Internet Performance Zoom”), an approach to provide focused, on-demand Internet measurements. Unlike existing approaches that face a difficult challenge of building a measurement platform with sufficiently diverse measurements and measuring hosts, DipZoom offers a matchmaking service instead, which brings together experimenters in need of measurements with external measurement providers. It then harnesses market forces to orchestrate the supply and demand sides in the resulting open eco-system.
