Dear all,
Please see below my communication with BAKOM (OFCOM) regarding the
official speed test measurement system which is proposed in the FDV
(Fernmeldedienstverordnung).
So I guess that all these providers will apply nice "QoS" to the well
known speedtest prefix, while still applying negative "QoS" for the
competition, or by not doing proper peering etc etc etc...
What is the point of doing this, when it will never match reality?
Also, it seems that there are monopoly providers who are present at IXs
and won't peer then with other ISPs, thus.... not very useful all that,
as the speedtest will be amazing, but the actual packets to the other
ISP will fly over timbooktoo...
Thus maybe, next to speedtests to standardized sinkholes, doing
speedtests between ISPs is a good idea; of course, with changing IPs.
That is: if you participate in this speedtest setup, you host a bunch of
nodes in your network, which automatically do speedtests & traceroutes
all the time.
Something akin to RIPE's RIS system, or NLNOG Ring or heck Sam Knows,
but then a non-corrupt version of that ;)
Greets,
Jeroen
