Abstract

Dasu is an extensible measurement experimentation platform for the Internet's edge. Dasu is composed of a distributed collection of clients, hosted by participating end hosts, and a core set of services for managing and coordinating experimentation. Dasu supports and builds on broadband characterization as an incentive for adoption to capture the network and service diversity of the commercial Internet.

This demo presents Dasu in action, focusing on its experiment delegation mechanism and showing how it enables third-party experimentation and maintains security and accountability.
