FWIW, we at Comcast just announced public beta of a new soon-to-be-open-source 
web-based speed test (see 
http://labs.comcast.com/beta-testing-a-new-open-source-speed-test). We plan to 
have a hackathon at Princeton in early November (see 
https://citp.princeton.edu/event/speedtest-hackathon/). One of the items in the 
backlog and suggested for one of the hackathon teams to work on is a buffer 
bloat test. 

If anyone here is interested in participating, ping me off-list (we have a 
limited number of spots available).

Thanks!
Jason

    I just saw Netflix's Fast.com site. They (may) suffer from non-neutral 
treatment by various carriers, so they set up their own testing suite so that 
their customers can see if Netflix servers are getting full treatment.
    
    Netflix make interesting choices in the design of the test. They only 
measure download speed (since that's their customer's major beef). It's a 
really attractive page, and it's pretty clear what they're doing.
    
    This blog posting tells how they designed it and some of the challenges.
