Network Measurement Agent tool released by NNSquad
The stuff coming through on the FreePress daily update about media matters is full of how little info we have about the Comcast Brouhaha, and how to that their “network management” is more like “competitor blocking”. Bennett keeps spewing about it on WetMachine as well, saying that Topolsky & Co really haven’t proven anything. That’s all about to change.
The brilliant folks over at the Net Neutrality Squad have come up with a tool that will give the FCC and Congress the data they need to decide what to do about the internet and those who would own it. The tool, called the NNSquad Network Measurement Agent, is software released under the LGPL and “monitors network activity on computer systems, looking for and flagging a variety of potential problems. NNMA also includes a special function that attempts to detect reset (RST) packets that may have been injected into a TCP connection by any entity not located at the connection endpoints.”
This tool will hopefully supply the data needed to keep the internet open, and stop discrimination.
