Huh, didn't know about that. Seems they're measuring the latency before
the download test, though, so no bufferbloat numbers. If anyone knows
someone at Cloudflare we could try to bug to get this fixed,

Dear David,
Thanks for the elaboration below, and indeed I was not appreciating the full
scope of the challenge.

I think the real test should be multiple clients, not multiple sources, but
coordinating is hard. The middleboxes on the way may treat distinct IP host
addresses specially, and of course there is an edge case because a single NIC
by definition never sends two datagrams at once, which distort

Thanks Sebastian. I do agree that in many cases, reflecting the ICMP off the
entry device that has the external IP address for the NAT gets most of the RTT
measure, and if there's no queueing built up in the NAT device, that's a
reasonable measure. But...
However, if the router has "taken up

Hi David,
in principle I agree, a NATed IPv4 ICMP probe will be at best reflected at the
NAT router (CPE) (some commercial home gateways do not respond to ICMP echo
requests in the name of security theatre). So it is pretty hard to measure the
full end to end path in that configuration. I

Dave, thanks for sharing interesting thoughts and context.

I am still a bit worried about properly defining "latency under load" for a NAT
routed situation. If the test is based on ICMP Ping packets *from the server*,
it will NOT be measuring the full path latency, and if the potential congestion
is in the uplink path from the access provider's

I guess one of my questions is that with a switch to BBR netflix is

For download, I show 6ms unloaded and 6-7 loaded. But for upload the loaded
shows as 7-8 and I see it blip upwards of 12ms. But I am no longer using
any traffic shaping. Any anti-bufferbloat is from my ISP. A graph of the

Thankfully, it appears so. The DSLReports bloat test was interesting, but
the jitter on the ~240ms base latency from South Africa (and other parts of
the world) was significant enough that the figures returned were often
