Howdy Adam,

How are you detecting/classifying the test data?  Isn't it all SSL?

Subject: [AFMUG] Priority on Speedtest.net

I can set a higher priority DSCP value on speedtest.net traffic. I tested this 
on one SM and it works great.  On a busy AP at 9:30pm I was getting speedtest 
results from 12-20mbps.  I set the speedtest traffic to DSCP 26 and enable a 
"medium" priority channel and now it's 34mbps every single time without fail 
(and at my data rate, frame size, etc that's all I could ever hope for).

The question is: Would this be evil?

The feeling is that for some customers there's nothing actually wrong except 
they run speedtest.net simultaneously as their XBox downloads a game and then 
call to report "slow" speeds.  The feeling is that it would be easier to just 
let them see a bigger speed test number than to educate them (and some will 
always refuse to be educated).

The evil part is that it would mask an actual congestion problem.

There's also a notion being tossed around the office that our competitors are 
already doing this.  I have no idea if they actually are, and I'm also not sure 
if I care what they're doing.

-Adam
