[Click] how do you do your msrmnts? // was: IPMP / IP Measurement Protocol on click?

[Florian Sesser]

No one?

Any other ideas? I took a glance at the Grid Probe Elements, but I think 
they won't suffice for my multi-hop measurements.

How do you all do your measurements? Scripting with tcpdump and netcat 
everywhere?
