 You should read the OONI Architecture and see how a test like switzerland
 can be written using it's components.

 I would imagine that something useful would be the control channel.

 I also have some questions on the test writeup you made:

 An input is supposed to be a list of items. In this case you define input
 as "An active connection between two clients", what do you mean exactly by
 this?

 What are "asynchronous keys"?

 Also answering some of your questions:

 3. The goal of OONI is not visualization of data, that should be the task
 of others.
 5. This should be implemented using TestHelpers and control channels.
