This table compares multiple aspects of public measurement infrastructures.
It includes links to the measurement websites themselves. In addition, technical
and administrative details specific to each project may be reach either by
selecting the link for each project labeled 'more', or by selecting
the 'Details' section from the pull-down menu below.
This list was compiled in 2004 and is no longer being maintained. This page is made available for historical purposes.
