| Abstract | Internet Service Providers (ISPs) advertise their products focusing mainly on maximum achievable throughput and price. However, many other factors can influence what users perceive as good Quality of Service (QoS). In Portugal, ANACOM, the telecommunications regulator, performs frequent studies to evaluate the quality of the Internet access service offered by the various Portuguese ISPs. Traditionally, these studies have been carried out by resorting to carefully selected users, which run the measurement tests from their homes using special purpose equipment. This methodology makes the studies very expensive to setup and run, especially in rural areas. In this paper, we address the problem of large-scale, user-driven, measurements of the Internet access QoS on broadband connections, both wireless and wired. Our solution is based on three components: a software agent running on the participant's computer or smartphone, which performs scheduled or on demand measurements on its behalf, one or more endpoints against which the measurements are carried out and a central server that collects and processes the measurement results, and allows remote configuration and reporting through a Web portal. The agent reports geographical information whenever possible, enabling both nationwide and regional studies. To validate our proposal we developed a prototype including all components and tested it extensively. The results indicate that our system is able to operate correctly and scales well to large deployments. This work was the basis for the measurement system currently being deployed by ANACOM. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
