Hello,
Hello!
Few years ago, Dutch Internet Society released a very good application to test for protocol and communication app blocking, the application have not been maintained for some time now, but is still accessible under open.internet.nl http://open.internet.nl.
Ah, cool, I didn't know about it!
I think it will be a good idea to integrate the tests this application does into OONI probe,
Yes, I agree!
do you think this is possible?
Possibly. To provide a more precise answer it would help:
- to know whether the sources are available somewhere (I spent only a couple of minutes on the site and didn't find a "sources" tab and couldn't also find anything related on github by quickly googling)
- to know whether the tests are specified somewhere (even without sources, with a good specification, we can re-implement it)
As I said, I did a quick search but did not find information on that on the website. Either I was too quick or it's not obvious.
Do you know where we can find that info?
The open.internet.nl http://open.internet.nl tests for: "VOIP (SIP and Skype), Whatsapp (XMPP), YouTube, BitTorrent and Spotify. And the related protocols RTSP, DNS, RTP and RTCP."
Nice! I wonder, for example, how YouTube test is implemented, i.e. do they connect directly to YouTube servers or use another strategy?
Thank you,
Simone
