I can fairly easily plumb in a scheduled regular tests that would check b/w rates from various places. However, the question then would be : what is a reasonable acceptable[1] performance test. If we can come up with a test that is considered acceptable, we can then move to adding a metric from there into the mirrorlist generation to make sure that slower mirrors are used more infrequently. The caveat here being that even through a machine might only be 10mbps, because its used more infrequently - it might give its 2 simultaneous users a better / faster experience than the 100mbps machine can to its 500 simultaneous users. Thoughts ? - KB [1]: acceptable to the mirror admins. I dont think they would like it much if we were to pull a 600M iso every 6 hours as a speed test.
