Why This Approach?
Inline measurements give you:
Real time comparison of active and inactive paths, before any changes are made
Visibility into the benefits (and shortcomings) of each ISP
Save money, but without compromising performance
No Traceroute
- If you can measure through firewalls, or test locations which accept probes, why use traceroute?
No Automatic Pings
- We do not respond to observed events by increasing testing
