We report on a study of the applicability of using a Raspberry Pi for monitoring the worldwide performance of the Internet. The low cost and power requirements of the Raspberry Pi are particularly attractive for deploying in places with limited funds or power. This includes developing regions such as are monitored by the PingER project. We evaluate various statistical methods to establish their applicability and to compare if and how the measurements made by a regular bare-metal data center server significantly differ with those from a Raspberry Pi. Using the results from the comparisons we determine the significance of the differences, decide if they are important and suggest how to partially mitigate. Show Partial Abstract
