alphadogg writes "Northwestern University researchers have developed a system that gives a heads up about traffic problems on the Internet, where there is no central management system. Their Network Early Warning System (NEWS) http://www.aqualab.cs.northwestern.edu/projects/NEWS.html , which latches on to a popular BitTorrent client, is designed to spot problems by encouraging feedback from end users who are experiencing problems. "You can think of it as crowd sourcing network monitoring," said associate professor Fabián Bustamante. He has a track record with BitTorrent users, having developed the popular Ono plug-in for speeding up P2P interactions." Link to Original Source
