Measurement Lab Network Extracts (M-Lab)¶

Measurement Lab (M-Lab) is the largest open source Internet measurement effort in the world. The M-Lab Network Diagnostic Tool (NDT) dataset is a valuable resource for researchers and network engineers interested in understanding internet performance. It consists of a massive collection of test results gathered from users running the NDT tool. These tests measure various aspects of a user's internet connection, including download and upload bandwidth, latency (signal delay), and packet loss.

The unique aspect of the NDT dataset lies in its user-initiated nature. Unlike traditional network monitoring conducted by service providers, the NDT data reflects real-world user experiences. Users often run the NDT tool when they encounter internet issues, resulting in a surge of tests during network outages or periods of poor performance. This makes the NDT dataset a rich source for analyzing trends in internet health, identifying bottlenecks, and understanding how network problems manifest for end-users. By studying the characteristics of NDT tests, researchers can gain valuable insights into the overall quality and performance of the internet.
