Active Measurement Project
AMP (Active Measurement Project) is a project originating at NLANR designed to constantly perform active measurements between a mesh of specialist AMP monitors. These measurements are used to both provide a view of long-term network performance and to detect notable network events. The AMP system consists of several components: the measurement software which runs on the monitor machines and conducts the AMP tests; the reporting software which reliably sends the test results back to a central server; and the graphing software which plots the results and presents them in an accessible fashion.
