Ideally, always on monitoring and export at the PE. An incremental first step in an adhoc off box tester, maybe deployed with the perfsonar suite.

Meaningfully visualizing the output seems challenging. Do you have any insights on that part?

Right, I meant more in terms of deployment: are you looking to run this
as an always-on monitor on a middlebox, or are you just running ad-hoc
measurements on a client device?

I ask because we have a PhD student working on a re-implementation of
pping in BPF, the goal of which is precisely to be able to run as an
always-on monitor:

So any insights into what you're thinking of doing with the tool would
potentially be helpful - adding in Simon, who's writing the code.
