+[AMP] is also the [Acronym] for the Active Measurement Project, run by the [NLANR] Research team in the US. It consists of well over 100 well connected "amplets" spread over US universities and research organisations. All amplets ping each other in a full mesh once per min, and traceroute between each other once per 10 min. All results are collected on a central server and displayed to the public. Check [the homepage | http://watt.nlanr.net] for more information and results. This project is lead by the head of the WandGroup at [WaikatoUniversity] and as such, many students in this group have had something to do with [AMP] at one point or another. This is another example of NamespaceCollision
.
