<h2>What is this?</h2>

<p>This tool allows you to find "good" peerings
for <a href="https://dn42.net">dn42</a>, by measuring the latency from
various points in the network towards you.</p>

<p>If you don't know what dn42 is,
read <a href="https://dn42.net/Home">the website</a> and in particular
the <a href="https://dn42.net/Getting-started-with-dn42">Getting Started
guide</a>.</p>

<h2>How does it work?</h2>

<p>
  <ol>
    <li>you enter your (Internet) IP address or hostname</li>
    <li>various routers participating in dn42 will ping you over the Internet</li>
    <li>after a short while, you get back all the latency results</li>
    <li>you can then peer with people close to you (low latency)</li>
  </ol>
</p>

<h3>Launch a measurement</h3>

<p>
<form action="/submit" method="POST">
<label for="target">Target:</label>
<input type="text" name="target" id="target" value="{{ request.remote_addr|ipaddress_pp|not_dn42 }}"/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;"><strong>Note:</strong> the target may block or rate-limit ICMP (e.g. Fritz!Box routers)</span><br />
<input type="checkbox" id="public" name="public" />
<label for="public">Public?</label><br />
<input type="submit" value="Launch" />
</form>
</p>

<p>If you mark your measurement as public, it will be displayed on the
home page below.  Note that the IP addresses of the target will be shown
alongside the result.</p>
