M-lab Activity Count
This endpoint returns a count of all the hosts within a certain resource for which any network tests occurred.
The data is based on active host measurements collected by the Measurement Lab platform (M-Lab).
The measurements are commonly ran using the M-Lab Network Detection Tool (NDT), available as a stand-alone network speed test application, and also included in a popular BitTorrent client.
Note that due to the nature the data is processed data can be delayed for around two days at the beginning of each month!
The results published, including host details are covered by the M-Lab acceptable use policy.
