Removes "Visualizations" tab and references to it (#808)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The entire "Visualizations" header tab is devoted to the now-broken Data Studio
dashboards that Chris created a long time ago. Those dashboards relied on the
stats-pipeline, but the stats-pipeline was shut down as a cost saving measure
and because nothing was really using it, other than those dashboards.
Additionally, the dashboard were unmaintained and very slow and possibly broken
in other ways.

## Where can I explore M-Lab data?

You can explore [visualizations]({{ site.baseurl }}/visualizations/) of M-Lab’s NDT speed test data. M-Lab data for NDT, Paris Traceroute, and Sidestream tests are searchable [using BigQuery]({{ site.baseurl }}/data/docs/bq/quickstart/), and data for all tests can be downloaded in raw compressed file format. Please visit the tests page and click on the [section on data]({{ site.baseurl }}/data/) for more information about how to access the data using BigQuery or other tools.

Different Internet performance tests measure different things in different ways. M-Lab's NDT test tries to transfer as much data as it can in ten seconds (both up and down), using a single connection to an M-Lab server. Other popular tests try to transfer as much data as possible at once across multiple connections to their server. Neither method is "right" or "wrong," but using a single stream is more likely to help diagnose problems in the network than multiple streams would. [Learn more about M-Lab's NDT methodology](https://github.com/ndt-project/ndt/wiki/NDTTestMethodology).

All NDT data collected by M-Lab are publicly available in both [visualized]({{ site.baseurl }}/visualizations/) (graphic), [queryable](https://console.cloud.google.com/bigquery?project=measurement-lab), and [raw (unanalyzed) forms](https://console.developers.google.com/storage/browser/archive-measurement-lab/ndt/).

Transparency visualizations showcase ways in which people have used M-Lab data to expose what's going on behind the scenes. From ISP throttling to deep packet inspection, we invite those interested to shed light on the issues, and we highlight the results here.
