At SANE 2006, Luca showed us a very first prototype of an implementation
of the CBM proposal.  This was essentially a mock-up of the web front-end
with very little else.  A month or so later, he sent us a URL (I'm not
sure if I can share it, so I don't) of a more functional prototype.

This set-up consisted of two elements: a central machine to configure
measurements on remote probes and retrieve/show the results.  The probes
doing the measurements consisted of linux boxes with only the tools
installed that one would find on a Linksys or similar device.  This was
for rapid development.  Measurements inclded ping, dns-queries and http
queries to websites.  The central box took care of authorization.  All in
all, it looked very nice but one should realize that the most important
part (the probe) didn't run on the device it is supposed to be running.

Luca's next plan was to port the probe code to embedded devices.  This
would be done over the summer.  Next week, I'll meet Luca in Pisa to see
what he (plus students) did over the summer.  I'll report on that next
later.  I'll also ask if the URL can be shared with this group.

Cheers,

Henk
