I can go digging. i was/am particularly interested in performance for v4/v6 cached/not from the same vantage point at as nearly the same time. I didn't think that was going to be fruitful in searching existing measurements :( I should have taken a bit longer to dig though. > (I'd be particularly happy if it was, since one of the very reasons we > wanted to make this whole network really open is to be able to reuse > data from others' measurements.) > > If that's not possible, then I'd advise you to run a small script that > issues a measurement request and parametrises it with cantage point / > target pairs, and use an API key for it.
