ServStats is a small extension that lets users share statistics about web server connectivity and diagnose network failures.

With ServStats, you can just push a button in your browser to find out the number of times other people have attempted to connect to a server, the average latency and rate of failure for that server, and more.

ServStats is part of the Knowledge Plane research project at MIT. Our objective is to provide a platform for exchanging network knowledge and data and performing probabilistic reasoning.

ServStats is the first step towards a system for automatically diagnosing network failures using data from users and Diagnostic Agents.

We care about your privacy so we only collect the minimum amount of information necessary to calculate server statistics and scramble server hostnames using a MD5 hash.

Please read the FAQ at http://servstats.mozdev.org/faq.html for more details. And of course you are free to inspect the source code since this is an open source project.

Firefox 1.5 - 1.5.0.* ALL

Added timestamps and versioning to DA requests
