Thanks for attaching the list. Having seen a fair a number of these, I
think it looks reasonable.

But, I think you should add the list and the reason for the range choice to
the paper. For example, I can't tell what range you actually used from your
description (although that might just be due to a hurried reply).

Another issue is that, while your paper might accurately capture the
network conditions on your local network, it's probably doesn't capture
network variation as well as a large scale test along the lines of what
Mozilla did. For example, if the university used a single router brand,
this could skew the test. As one data point, I've never seen the various
network-throttling apps match a real-user-metrics test very well, although
they do catch really problematic situations.

This test is a welcome contribution, but given the data in the paper, it
would be difficult to reproduce.

thanks,
Rob
