The Milestone Smoke Test provides an automated test, performed against mainnet, that establishes a regularly captured metric for random data uploaded to the swarm, then downloaded from a different part of the network.
While this is an invaluable metric in terms of evaluating network health and node performance, it does not enable visibility of the time taken to retrieve data that has been in existence for some time on the network, and therefore should be available without any need for synchronisation.
In addition, it would be useful to establish a long running test which checks for data availability and identifies any gaps in service provision.
It is suggested that the OSM dataset could provide such a dataset, as it's stamp is maintained and each of its many chunks presumed to be available at any time.
