dzcommand - DipZoom Command Line Client


DipZoom is “an approach to provide focused, on-demand Internet measurements.” By creating a Peer-to-Peer network of hosts around the world, clients can issue requests to specific hosts to perform various network measurements including curl, ping, traceroute, and dig.

For my purposes, I wanted to be able to download a single webpage from many different hosts located around the world to see if a problem detected on one host would appear differently or not at all at another host. I created a command line client to access the DipZoom network so that I could automate such tests in the framework I am helping to develop.

If you are interested in using this Java command line client, you may download dzcommand here. You must go to DipZoom to download the necessary support files to run this client, as described in the readme.txt file, and you will need a suitable JDK and JRE to compile and run the code.
