I hereby donate 1k to the "bufferbloat testing vs gogo-in-flight legal
defense fund". Anyone that gets busted by testing for bufferbloat on
an airplane using these new tools or the rrul test can tap me for
that. Anyone else willing to chip in?[1]
I note that tweeting in the air after such a test might be impossible
(on at least one bloat test done so far the connection never came
back) so you'd probably have to tweet something like
"I am about to test for bufferbloat on my flight. If I do not tweet
again for the next 4 hours, I blew up gogo-in-flight, and expect to be
met by secret service agents on landing with no sense of humor about
how network congestion control is supposed to work."
FIRST. (and shrink the above to 140 pithy characters)
[1] I guess this makes me liable for inciting someone to do a network
test, also, which I hope is not illegal (?). I personally don't want
to do the test as I have better things to do than rewrite walden and
am not fond of roomates named "bubba".
... but I admit to being tempted.
Please don't. I don't want netperf classified as a munition :)
Plausible deniability might be your friend. "All I was doing was trying
to [upload my 1 GB powerpoint presentation I just finished | download
the 1 GB powerpoint presentation I had to work-on ] and it seemed to be
taking forever, so I was worried something was wrong and decided to ping
to check connectivity. That is when I noticed the latency was so high..."

Anyone who wants to read the story about how netperf took-out a
corporate video security system - twice - and why the netperf UDP_STREAM
test is no longer over a routable socket by default should feel free to
contact me.
