[Planetlab-users] Node availability

[Bowman, Mic]

That's a great idea... However... Your notion of a good node is probably
not the same as my notion of a good node, because my experiment has
different parameters. The resource discovery service (SWORD) that was
just announced is what I'd like to see more of. Also, I think there is
some merit in "rating" services. That's one thing I'd like to add to
trumpet: look at the existing data, emit another tuple that is the
rating. If there are several rating services, one for ping services, one
for high bw services, etc, then we could just subscribe to the
appropriate service to get the diverse perspectives that we need. It's
also a great way for the community to contribute to its own growth.
