The IWM is an Open Community Project whos goal is to map and share the data on the latency and outages that occur constantly on the Internet. This information is used by IT Administrators around the world to quickly diagnose problems with their own Internet connectivity. Information on general Internet latency has been available for some time, but the IWM creates very specific data, allowing the IT Admin to use this data for inventigating issues such as email delays, and slugish browsing. Since IWM is an Open Community project, it relies on the volenteer efforts of many people around the globe who set up simple tracers to feed latency data to the IWM. By collecting different data from multiple sites, the IWM shows a much more comprehensive picture of what Internet latency than you could see on your own. The IWM is always looking for more data feeds, so if you're interested in helping, we can show you how easy it is. Just send us email at info@internetweathermap.com |
