UPDATE: Due to scalability issues with the smokeping master/slave architecture we had to abandon this type of measurements in early 2013.

A smokeping Master/Slave setup has been created to graph latency between all nodes thus graphing nodes in context of a torus. With this smokeping setup problems on the Dutch internet exchanges such as AMS-IX or NL-IX are easily made visible. Also malfunctioning route-servers can be spotted.
