Dave has a point here about the possibility of stopping QoS during testing.

Thoughts?

Well, actually, doing this this way, would get some GREAT data from the field that simply doesn't exist right now...

/etc/init.d/qos stop
do the test (which I assume includes shaperprobe and a bandwidth test)
/etc/init.d/qos start
do the bandwidth test

I've also been collecting data via usb sticks on these puppies. For slow connections (less than 2MB/sec) the writes to stick and the dump do not seem to permute the results much.
